W2k Terminal Server redirects my Winfax ports to the local LPT1 on the client this prevents faxing from within My applications running on Terminal Server, How can i get My Winfax ports to correctly redirect to the clients Winfax ports!!!!
So far i set up winfax both ways on the terminal server, as a host and normal, i've been experiementing but to no avail.
answers must be specific and detailed.

Your question is unclear but apparently you want to direct output from a Terminal Server based application to the clients WinFax port rather than their LPT1.

As far as I know, this is an unsupported configuration for the Terminal Client because all the information I have says that it can only redirect to the physical LPT1 port. Theoretically, it would be possible to install a piece of software that intercepts the call to LPT1 and re-directs it to the WinFax driver but I have not yet seen such a product out there yet.

On the other hand, the Citrix ICA client does theoretically support this sort of thing and with that, you would install the WinFax driver on the Terminal Server and when the user connected, it would configure the driveron their workstation.

Hopefully, someone else has a better answer because I would also like to have that ability.
