Hello everyone smile

I have 2 computers sharing a broadband connection through a Linksys 4 port Router.

Computer #1 has a dialup modem installed that I use for sending faxes.

I would also like to use computer #2 to send faxes and use the dialup modem in Computer #1 to send them.

Is it possible to do what I want? Thank you smile

Jack Holt

Fetch yourself the program "Modemshare millenium"

It works relly well for sharing a modem.

ICS is supposed to let you do the same thing, I myself have never gotten this funtion to work properly but it was more an experiment for my own knowledge then for any real world application.

I'll have to note that app for future reference, thanks duhmez smile

WinFax has network fax sharing as well.

You might as well want to try WinRoute.
I did use it when I had a dial-up internet connection. While I found it limited for some games, it did work well. It even has options to block the connection in some hours so it won't stay connected all night long.

WinGate also does that but its stability is still an issue.
