Using the new ABS as a print server is probably the most attractive new
feature, other than price, to anyone with a small network and multiple
users . (Think here the family situation where there is one wired home
computer running Jaguar with multiple accounts and various wireless
laptops all all sharing a cable/DSL connection and printer).
Otherwise, the machine that is directly connected to the printer must
always be in a 'logged on' state to work as the print server. This is
also true if you use the computer to receive faxes.
To date, I know of no way to wirelessly connect to the ABS' modem and
use it to fax either in or out. I realize that faxing is really kind
of dinosaur technology (I rarely use it myself anymore) when compared
to email, but, I still have a few dinosaur clients who insist on faxes,
so it would come in handy once in a while.
How about ABS as a fax server? Apple are you listening?
