FAXING

The Fax View of WFS is an improved and enhanced version of the Fax Services component which was available as an option in the Windows XP Operating System . The significant new features include a fax account model, an enriched composition experience, the ability to save faxes in composition as drafts, and a preview pane. It is also possible to right click on a file and send it as a fax. To send and receive faxes users can either create a local fax modem account to use a locally attached fax-capable Modem or can create a shared fax server account to use a Network Fax Server .
