File Servers are computers which "serve" as central storage facilities for data and program files.

Print Servers - Computers with one or more printers attached that provide printing "services" to other computers on the LAN. Some printers have special interfaces which allow the printer itself to act as a print server on a network.

Modem/Fax/Communications Servers - Devices which allow computers on the LAN to communicate outside the network through a standard local telephone system. It is also possible, with appropriate communications servers and software, to allow external computers to "dial-in" to a LAN and communicate (data and/or faxes) with devices on the LAN.
