The Virtual Fax Modem for Windows 95/98/NT 4.0 is a 3Com customized
application which allows Windows users to access the LAN Modem as if it were
directly connected to your computer's COM port. This feature permits connections
to on-line services such as America On-line as well as the sending of faxes
(class 2.0 or later) from any Windows computer which is attached to the LAN
Modem. Note that the Virtual Fax Modem client software must be installed on
every computer on the LAN which requires use of this feature. The Virtual Fax
Modem has been customized for use with the LAN Modem, and cannot be used
in conjunction with other WAN devices, such as routers or other LAN-based
modems.
When the Virtual Fax Modem connection is in use, no other calls can be placed or
received on your telephone line by any other user on the LAN.
The application, along with complete installation steps and configuration notes,
may be found on the latest 3Com Companion Programs CD-ROM, or downloaded
directly from the LAN Modem Utilities homepage:
