[THIN] Citrix Through Port 80?

Perhaps someone can enlighten me.  We've only ever administered Citrix 
servers internally, so we have no experience with enabling Citrix through 
the Internet.

We have some employees that want to connect to another company's Citrix 
application, and our security personnel have some concerns.  This external 
company says that they can send the traffic solely through port 80, but I do 
not believe they are using CSG.  How is this possible?  Are there any 
security holes?

Our security personnel also know about Citrix's ability to force a client 
upgrades and have wondered if other software could be pushed to a client 
through this mechanism.  And, they have concerns about our client drives and 
printers being mapped to this remote system.  Do client upgrades work from 
remote systems and how is it accomplished?  Could other software be 
distributed through the client upgrade mechanism?  Do client drives and 
printers map when using Citrix servers remote to your network?
