Have you tried Terminal Services?
This Exchange list is very good:

> I'm looking for a list like this one for issues dealing with

> In the mean time, maybe someone on HP3000-L has already dealt
> with this problem.
>
> We use Exchange as our mail server (several servers across
> multiple locations), and Outlook as the client.  For the
> users that travel, we have VPN access back to the office.
> The problem is that we are frequently finding hotels and
> other locations with broadband access, don't allow the required
> ports through their firewalls, so we are unable to establish
> the VPN connections.
>
> This leaves us with dial-up (very slow) or using the
> WebAccess method, which has its own set
> of limitations, such as can't access the mail in your laptop
> client (PST files) and doesn't allow access to your personal
> addressbook (contacts), etc.
>
> We are investigating converting these users to a POP3
> connection to the Exchange server, which will not require the
> VPN connection, and I'd like to hear what experience others
> have had using this idea.  The "issues" we have identified so
> far include:
> - manual updates of the global address list will be required
> - because user's mail now resides on their laptop, they are
> responsible for backing it up
> - one layer of acces security is removed (the VPN connection)
>
> Anyone dealt with this issue and willing to share experience?
