Hi Neil, you know a place which has has pure ms fax up and running and
working, wow ( i never saw that , i only know third party solutions for
that on windows )
try study it features in which way you can inject faxes in its spool dir
or the tcp port you have to use and try to script it with linux. (
whatever samba etc )
But i would recommend using hylafax cause it surle more stable than
any ms fax service.
Perhaps Technet should help ,searching a solution.
