I found that in the admin guide....says to use change client command but
I'm having a hard time understanding exactly what to do. Has anyone
done this and can provide me with some syntax?

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.

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.
