flexfax: WHFC under NT Terminal Server

["Carl Patten" <cpatte@trimodalinc.com>]

My desire is to make WHFC 1.0.5 work under Windows NT Terminal Server 4.0
(service pack 4) with Citrix MetaFrame 1.8.  Needless to say, this is a bit
tricky, but I'm so close it hurts.

What I did: installed WHFC as administrator.  Set up printer named "HylaFAX"
using print driver Apple LaserWriter 16/600 PS, connected to port
"WHFCFAX:".

Here's how it's behaving:  if WHFC is already running, I can print to the
HylaFAX printer and the WHFC send fax dialog windows comes up normally.  If
WHFC is not running I get no send fax dialog; instead I get the following
error on the console:

WHFC.EXE - DLL Initialization Failed
Initialization of the dynamic link library M:\WTSRV\system32\KERNEL32.dll
failed.  The process is terminating abnormally.

This is followed by a blank Error dialog box on the console with OK and
Cancel as options.  The HylaFax printer status shows it's deleting the job,
but hangs until I click OK or Cancel at the console.

Incidentally, I checked permissions on kernel32.dll; "everybody" has "read"
access.

I have a workaround which is to send the print job to a text file, then call
WHFC through OLE and Perl.  I'd prefer to print jobs directly to the
printer.  The behavior doesn't change when I try it from a Citrix ICA client
connection rather than at the Windows NT console, so it's something between
Terminal Server and WHFC.

Any ideas?  Hate to give up when I'm this close...

Thanks.
