That's odd - as long as the fax is in the fax number field and is recognized as a number, it should be visible. They have a Office Midsize Business plan. We were going to use a shared mailbox but we run into the same issue with Outlook address books in 64 bit Windows 7 and the client would need to pay for another mailbox.
