[NTLUG:Discuss] Send fax to Windows Fax service?

[. Daniel]

I simply don't know and have no means to test the idea.

I have done some cursory googling and found that hylafax is an excellent 
and mature method to serve faxes.  Clients exist for window and others 
OSes.  So unless there is a specific reason to use the Windows service, 
perhaps a better solution would be to run Hylafax?  (I never noticed if 
there was a windows hylafax server, but it's quite possible.)

As for windows fax printer via samba, I have read that it works, but I'm 
unsure, again, about delivery information.  Generally, with a samba 
printer, the printer itself is the destination.  with samba faxing, the 
first question that enters my mind is how you transmit delivery 
information?
