Local modem speed in teminal server session

We are planning on publishing an application through terminal
services. Our remote offices will no longer have a local install of
this application but will still need to retain full functionality. The
issue we are having right now is currently the users have the ability
to send a fax from inside the application.

We want them to still be able to send the fax from their local machine
while the data is held in the terminal server session but when tested
all the data is being sent through the terminal server session
connection so is limited by the session bandwidth. Is there any way to
get the local modem to send it's traffic outside of the terminal
session which will remove the limitation as these can be quite large
faxes so slowing them down would cause issues to users. The users are
all connected to the terminal server session through a high bandwidth
internet provider so the local modem is not in use during the session

The failback option we have is to attach a modem pool to the terminal
servers but we would prefer to keep the faxing local to the branch
offices.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Stuart

No, you can't access your local modem from within your TS session.
