106    .BR "-r <device>"
107    Enable redirection of the specified device on the client, such
108    that it appears on the server. Note that the allowed
109    redirections may be restricted by the server configuration.

112    .TP
113    .BR "-r comport:<comport>=<device>,..."
114    Redirects serial devices on your client to the
115    server. Note that if you need to change any settings on the serial device(s),
116    do so with an appropriate tool before starting rdesktop. In most

128    is the name of the queue in your local system. <driver> defaults to a
129    simple PS-driver unless you specify one. Keep in mind that you need a
130    100% match in the server environment, or the driver will fail. The first
131    printer on the command line will be set as your default printer.
132    .TP
133    .BR "-r sound"
