Just a word of warning, DO NOT NFS mount the /var/spool/fax/ directory tree.

Or at least, the FIFO's, and the dev directory may cause problems if you do
that.

You really only need to install the "client" software, and set your FAXSERVER
( I'm not 100 % sure that is correct ) to point at the system with the modem(s)
on it.

Good Luck,
