Get a palm trio.   It uses secure pop3/smtp and it works anywhere you
have a cell phone connection that works (depending on the carrier you
get).   He will use this instead of his current cell phone, you probably
(depends on his current phone) can even be able to take the cim card out
of his current phone and slide it in to the trio.  That way he can use
the same number he already has, it might just require his service be
upgraded for internet.

List:

I have tried with my boss to get him to use VPN and it is the grumpiest
experience for him.  He gets kicked off and I cannot track down why - 

Sometimes it works - sometimes not. . . He is an old AOL user and I am
trying to get him off that.  But does anyone have a solution that works
for POP3 that can get to a server anywhere in the US?  

We tried an EDGE card and that was tooo slowwwwww. . . I really need a
solution for this guy - he lands in places where the internet connection
if iffy at times.  We have not tried POP3 because the server situation
changes wherever he goes and he needs the simplest solution so he
doesn't have to change things frequently - but I have not used POP3 that
much so I am thinking I may have missed something in the training.

Thanks for listening to my not so bright question . . . And any ideas
are appreciated.  There must be a simple solution - 
Oh - I forgot - we have Exchange 2000 and he does not like the Outlook
Web interface.
