I have a guy who wants to take his Thinkpad (XP Pro) out of the office and still check his mail that is on the Exchange Server. I figured a VPN would be the way to go. The server is Small Business Server 2000. I have access to the router (basic Linksys).

I have not setup any VPN's and would like someone to point me to a few resources to get me started. What will be needed on the client, server and will any router do as long as I can forwarded ports?

If a VPN is not the best way, also let me know what any of you would do, please.
