Re: WFS fails to start

No. WFS was designed to work only with analog fax modems and standalone
scanners that meet certain specifications and are on the VHCL. There was
consideration given to supporting AIO devices, but the developers were never
able to accomplish that. There are anecdotal reports of users who have been
able to get WFS to use their AIO devices, but there is no documentation or
support for doing so from either Microsoft or the third party manufacturers.
