111    Changes default bandwidth performance behaviour for RDP5. By default only
112    theming is enabled, and all other options are disabled (corresponding
113    to modem (56 Kbps)). Setting experience to b[roadband] enables menu
114    animations and full window dragging. Setting experience to l[an] will
115    also enable the desktop wallpaper. Setting experience to m[odem]

134    Redirects serial devices on your client to the

136    do so with an appropriate tool before starting rdesktop. In most
137    OSes you would use stty. Bidirectional/Read support requires Windows XP or newer.
138    In Windows 2000 it will create a port, but it's not seamless, most

152    Redirects a printer queue on the client to the server. The <printername>
153    is the name of the queue in your local system. <driver> defaults to a
154    simple PS-driver unless you specify one. Keep in mind that you need a
155    100% match in the server environment, or the driver will fail. The first
156    printer on the command line will be set as your default printer.
