How do I install a network fax on Vista?

I've been trying to figure this out for way to long now, with no luck. We have a server at our office running Windows Advanced Server 2003-64bit and all our computers were running windows XP. The server has a phone line and runs a fax modem. The windows xp machines...you would just goto add network printer, choose the fax, and we'd be set up. Slowly we're moving to vista, and now that half of our computers are running it, we badly need to figure out a way to have them connect to the server fax. I've read several manuals on how to do it if we were running Windows SBS; but we're not.

Any suggestions?

figured it out. Open Windows Fax/Scan, goto Tools > Fax Accounts. Click New Account, choose network. Instead of typing in \\server\fax just type in \\server. It'll pick up the fax on its own. Choose next, and done and she's set up.
