Only some version of Outlook Web Access (OWA) as it's officially known
are accessible.

Only 2003, and only then if the user chooses "basic" from the login
screen before loggin in.

Given those conditions, it's usable, but as someone else pointed out,
not exactly fast.

I've used it here (once we got 2003), but only for basic email, not for
all of outlook's functionality.

Unfortunately, our security nazi's simply won't allow a VPN under any
condition, and that leaves something like a Windows Terminal server with
jaws remote access as the only other alternative for security-conscious
admins to use.

hth,

Chip
