Aficio 180 PC Fax Expander ?s

S Star1 (Guest)
Scenario:
Aficio 180, Fax option, PC Fax Expander feature (hooked up to one computer), Print controller, NIC card. 4 computers (all Win 98 SE) hooked up peer-to-peer through a router.

Question:
Anyone have any ideas why I wouldn't be able to share the PC Fax Expander feature (resource)with the other computers on this little network?

Ricoh says NO on the AF 180, but they say you can share this resource on the Aficio 220 (which uses the same PC Fax Expander kit) even though it is not "true" network faxing.

I'm not a big fax expert, so I don't know what would be the issue there. From the network standpoint, I can't see why it couldn't be done.

Your opinions please!

Thanks
Star1

Both of them use a serial cable to connect from the PC to the copier mode.
Therefore, the modem is local to the PC and not a node on the NW. As far as I know a local modem cannot be shared.
Newer machines can intergrate the modem into their system which in on the network.
Ex. The AF220 required a cable for the modem and a cable for the printer and a cable for the scanner. 2 network drops.
Bottom line. Cant do it.
