-Do you have a support contract with your firewall/VPN? I know it's no
fun, but you should debug the VPN system and find out what exactly is

You could find a provider with HTTPS based webmail, and:
-Upload his contacts to the webmail (like Gmail for example, I can
send you a free invite)
-Forward a copy of his Exchange email to this GMail account (with 1GB

-Have him use it on the road

POP3 from your system.
