Did you try GoldFax? http://www.goldfax.com/ It is fairly reasonbly priced. We've had some success with it here and it is Citrix Certified.

Lambert Sent: Friday, September 27, 2002 2:44 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Starting & killing background tasks I've been trying for a couple of weeks to get the GFI Faxmaker client to work correctly on our Win2k/XPfr2 servers. According to the manufacturer Citrix is not supported, nor is their "enhanced" form supported under Terminal Services. When I asked their support people about any possible "fixes" or "hacks", even if unsupported, I got the following response: "I will forward your suggestion to the product manager. Please remember that this is not a tailor made application and therefore, we cannot add all the features that are requested." I'm sure that comment conjures up all kinds of responses (as it did for me), but I don't have the time to argue the merits of thin computing with people who obviously haven't seen the light. I want to get this working since so far it is the best package I've found considering cost, management, features and hardware requirements. What I've discovered on the local console when a user (the administrator) logs on a small program "fmstart.exe" is run from the HKLM Run key. This somehow is grabbing requests and opening the form/fax client (which is just small MAPI application interface to Outlook). If I run this program (fmstart.exe) in my session the fax client starts functioning as one would expect. Unfortunately when I do this and close all my applications, fmstart.exe is still running in the background and my session never closes. I'd like to try and find a way to run this when a session opens, and then close it when the session shuts down. Is there somewhere I can define an "ignore" list so that the session doesn't care about it? If I open task manager I see that wfshell.exe, winlogon.exe, and csrss.exe are all running. These are all getting ended automatically - and I'm hoping I can add fmstart.exe to the mechanism that loads these. I've tried adding fmstart.exe to the HKCU Run key but this must not get used when running a seamless session. Is there an equivalent location for seamless sessions? Anyway, if anyone can help or has any ideas please let me know. I've found a number of similar questions in the archives, but no solutions and nothing any experimentation. I'm sure if there is a solution to this it would benefit a number of other applications. Acrobat for one I know has a process like this it starts up and never ends, leaving a open empty session.
