Looks like that would work but, kinda pricey.  $1800 US for 5 users...
I'll keep looking.  Thanks

I think Dataviz Intellisync Anywhere is what you are looking for. =3D20

Anyone have a solution for syncing Palms over the Internet?  We're
struggling with the same thing and looking at implementing the VPN
solution to allow both Outlook and Palm.

Again, to protect your data, you will need to implement a VPN
solution.  NEVER open ports that have common exploits, like the RPC
service or even NetBIOS services.  If you don't want to put in a VPN
solution, then look at ISA with SP1.  I have heard that it works
quite well.

They need to sync to their mailbox for when they are on the road.  I
might have to use pop or trying imap now.  Or might have to use VPN.

Correct.  There was just a VERY long discussion in the MS Security Focus
=3D3D3D
mailing list because someone wanted to open ports to allow an Outlook =
=3D
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
client to directly attach to an Exchange server from the Internet.

Some said to use ISA server, while others (like me) said to use a VPN =
=3D
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
device.  You NEVER want to open RPC to the Internet.  You are just =
=3D3D3D
begging hackers to break into your system and get critical information.

Again, my question goes back to "why are you wanting to open ports for =
=3D
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
your Exchange server to the Internet?"  Is it because someone wants to =
=3D
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
get to their mailbox?  If so, then either publish Outlook, or have them
=3D3D3D
connect to OWA (secured with an SSL certificate).

What are your objectives?

I would suggest maybe just POP the box, unless you want the Exchange =3D
=3D3D3D
Address Book/Public Folders/etc. Or better yet, implement a published =
=3D
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
application via Citrix and create a connection that way. ;-)

Personally, I am not in favor of opening any more ports than absolutely
=3D3D3D
necessary.

Why are you doing this?  You need to open more ports than what you have
=3D3D3D
=3D3D3D3D3D =3D3D3D3D3D3D3D selected.  Mainly, the GC port, port 135, =
=3D
possibly =3D3D
139.
=3D3D3D
Why =3D3D3D3D not =3D3D3D3D3D use a =3D3D3D3D3D3D =3D3D3D3D3D3D3D VPN =
=3D
connection?  If =3D3D
you have =3D3D3D
Windows 2000, use =3D3D3D3D RRAS. If =3D3D3D3D3D not, then look =3D
=3D3D3D3D3D3D3D for =3D3D
a =3D3D3D
project called Wolverine.  It's a =3D3D3D3D small =3D3D3D3D3D distro =
that =3D

give

you =3D3D3D3D3D3D3D PPTP VPN support.  Very easy to =3D3D3D3D setup, =3D
