Fully networked fax server plus clients system that uses TCP/IP connectivity for all communication between server and clients. Clients can access just their own, or all faxes held on the server, depending on login rights. Faxes may be sent and also (optionally) received by the server, and use of multiple fax modems is fully supported. Full logging is provided, plus optional security timeouts to log out clients. Faxes may be printed locally or remotely, and the server can automatically notify of faxes sent and received, and automatically print faxes, cover sheets and transmission reports for all types of faxes. No network shares or user permissions are required on the fax server's machine due to the use of TCP/IP for all connections between server and clients, making the system easy to install and also more secure. The serve can create PDF copies of all received faxes, and make these available to all logged in fax clients.
