You could get him a Blackberry.
Upgrade to 2003 and use a Smartphone.
Look into a Terminal Server, 2003 edition is really nice, but then you
still need the connection.
Cheapest way is to get him used to OWA in my opinion if it's already in
use. The 2003 version is really nice.
Right now I use GotoMyPc which works really nice but I will soon be
going to Terminal Server because I'll be able to save money down the
road and it doesn't require everyone to leave on their pc's.

Again, everything depends on getting connected....

Subject: How do you connect Email Clients on the Road

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.
