Would a plain old "modem on COM1" be TAPI? Or is TAPI only when you are
doing some kind of voice mail, telephony, or specialized application?

COM port mapping is not TAPI-compatible. TAPI devices cannot be mapped to
client COM ports.

That's right. I thought the original poster was talking about sticking a
modem on the server COM port. A blurb from the admin guide shoud help:
Client Serial Port Mapping
Client COM port mapping allows a remote application running on the server to
access devices attached to COM ports on the client device. Client COM ports
are not automatically mapped to server ports at logon, but can be mapped
manually using the net use or change client commands. See "MetaFrame
Presentation Server Commands" on page 323 for more information about the
change client command. For more information about client COM port mapping,
see the Administrator's Guides for the clients you plan to deploy.
I have never done this will PNAgent, but in PN there is a menu option for
modems which shows the install modems on the client system. These become
available to the users server side session as client network devices, but
need to be mapped to be used by the application running on the server

You need to manually map the com ports as well.

I just need 1 user to use their local modem on their local com port, with
ADP running through Citrix via PNAgent accessing that modem. The driver for
the modem is built into 2003 Server (what I run Citrix on). Same driver
used on XP machines.
I need to have COM port mappings enabled in policies. Do I need to do
anything else?

If you mean outgoing using a modem for outgoing dial, you can connect the
modem to a COM port and simply let the user access it directly. If you need
to pool the modem or share it across the network then you would need
something like SpartaCom which handles contention for ports and can
re-direct the COM session over IP.

Subject: [THIN] Using a modem in PS4.0
Is there anything special about getting a modem to work under PS4.0? I have
an HR person trying to do manual checks in ADP PC/Payroll and it requires a
modem. I'm using a USRobotics External 56k, something very old and generic.
