Hyper-V -sharing modem for sbs server - How do you connect a com port to a named pipe

Hi
I have a Windows SBS server running on hyper-V and would like to receive
faxes on this server. How do you get a modem onto the virtual machine? Hyper
allows you to connect a com port to a named pipe but how do you create these
named pipes?

You can't connect a modem to the virtual COM port that Hyper-V creates.
You'll need a third party product, such as FabulaTech, to do what you want
to do.
