VPN and Remote Email

Hi there

We have just deployed W2K3 Standard servers as an upgrade for SBS as we out
grew it.

I am after some information on how I can configure the network so remote
users can connect over their own/hotel, etc. internet connections into our
network to service documents and collect email, etc. as if they were in the
office.

I am aware of OWA and offline files and these are working great, but users
want to be able to work in real-time.

Any recommendations? We are a charity with a real need for this kind of
environment, so no massive cost options please!!

Thanks,
Julian
