Symantec online support

What a tool.... after 10 minutes chatting with this guy regarding the requirements for Win Fax Pro - we hit this stumbling block.

Richard Y> if we install an XP Prof machine with modem and Win Fax Pro - will it receive faxes and then email them to a person on our network here?
Richard Y> part 2) can people "fax" documents from their computer that will be faxed out through Win Fax Pro to a specified fax number??
Richard Y> (ie. given Win Fax Pro is installed on separate machine) or do they have to have their own copy of Win Fax

..... some time passes .....

Richard Y> ...... should I be talking to a Sales Consultant from Symantec?
Anubhav> Richard, basically you want to use winfax in a network
Richard Y> yeah
Anubhav> As you are using a router and switch you cannot use winfax to work in your network
Richard Y> don't all networks have a swithc??
Richard Y> switch
Anubhav> The winfax is designed to work only with Hubs
Richard Y> ahhh OK
Richard Y> no problems
Richard Y> thanks for your help
Anubhav> Is there anything else I can help you with?
Richard Y> i don't think there is anything more you can help me with
Richard Y> thanks

Can someone spell - THE 21st CENTURY ????

It's such a shame that sarcasm really doesn't work over online chat.....
