Default Windows XP Fax Device Limit of One

According to Microsoft KB Article #555403, there is a Fax Device limit of 1.

See http://support.microft.com/kb/555403 This article is very brief.

I have a Windows 2003 server that I have a shared network fax on that I have
in turn hooked my Windows XP workstations up to. This works pretty good on
workstations that do not have their own Local Fax Modem.

On Windows XP workstations that have their own local fax modem installed on
I've seen some problems.

Is the server's fax considered a 2nd device to the Windows XP workstation?
Windows XP did not complain when I installed the network fax.

The main issue is that sometimes when I double click the Local Fax, I
usually see the Server's Inbox/Outbox, which seems wrong. I've seen other
times where I click the Network Fax and the Inbox/Outbox is empty, implying
that the Fax Console is showing me the Local Fax rather than my Network Fax.
My thinking is that when I double click the Local Fax, I should see faxes
that have been sent and received from the local fax, and that when I double
click the network fax, I should see documents that have been sent and
received from the network fax.

In my case, while I'd like to see still be able to use my Local Fax, the
most important functionality is to see the Network Fax that I have shared
out on the Windows 2003 server. Is there some sort of procedure to make
sure the Workstation is seeing the Network Fax Inbox/Outbox while I'm in the
Fax Console?

I've also seen cases where each Fax item shows up twice in the Inbox and
Outbox.

Thanks!

Anthony
