Changes default bandwidth performance behaviour for RDP5. By default only |

theming is enabled, and all other options are disabled (corresponding |

to modem (56 Kbps)). Setting experience to b[roadband] enables menu |

Redirects serial devices on your client to the |

server. Note that if you need to change any settings on the serial device(s), |
| 143 |

|
OSes you would use stty. Bidirectional/Read support requires Windows XP or newer. |

|
Redirects a printer queue on the client to the server. The <printername> |
| 161 |
|
is the name of the queue in your local system. <driver> defaults to a |
| 162 |
|
simple PS-driver unless you specify one. Keep in mind that you need a |
| 163 |

100% match in the server environment, or the driver will fail. The first |

printer on the command line will be set as your default printer. |
