1.4 Product Overview
All fax servers are comprised of three basic components: First, client programs allow the users to create
and monitor faxes and fax activity. Second, a database on the server stores the images and information
regarding the transmission attempts. And third, server applications, implemented as Windows Services,
control the functioning of the server.
