[gui-talk] Need heads up tips!

[W. Nick Dotson]

I'm passing on your message to the Network Administrator, because this is my first time with a VPN.  All this is new to me, because hitherto, I've used 
"pmmail 2000", and, the WebMail Client, is their less perferred way to go, they just told me it was there, if the OutLook and Exchange was for some reason 
inaccessible.  

I certainly appreciate the response to my query, and may very likely call to you directly for help as this progresses...

 Hi Nick.
 Using a cisco vpn client and then connecting to exchange using ms
 outlook 2003 should work fine independent of the screen reader that you
 are using though I have only done this using Jaws and Window-Eyes
 myself.
 The last time I did this, around 8 months go it worked well.
 My previous employer Aliant Telecom www.aliant.ca used this type of
 setup for remote access.
 I might add though that I did not find the web interface for accessing
 ms exchange via the internet "Outlook Web Access" to be overly speech
 friendly though I only ever tested/used it with JFW.
 It is usable however it does take alot of getting used too before one
 can use it affectively and I would not wish to use it as one's only
 means of viewing email.
 I don't know if anything has changed in regard to this issue in the last
 8 months or so because my current employer uses a groupwise system for
 their email and we use a contivity vpn client for vpn access for those
 who need it.
 I do not have vpn access using the contivity client and SecurID as we
 have a windows 2003 server in our DMZ which is primarily used by payroll
 clerks with the various schoolboards to update teacher payroll and as I
 am a domain administrator I have login rights to this server and simply
 use remote desktop if I need to get on the government network from home.
 Does this help?
 Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
 Ed
 P.S.: If your employer uses SecurID authentication with the vpn client
 depending upon your level of vision you may wish to contact your radius
 administrator and get an user password setup. so you can login
 independently.

 Has anyone on list "run Exchange 2003 connecting using the Cisco VPN
 client and then open Outlook 2003."? Has anyone also "accessed mail by
 using the 
 web mail portion of the Exchange 2003 server."?  Any really really
 really basic for dummies warnings and preparation and/or guidance as in
 Tutorials would be 
 appreciated.  Looks like I'm either going to have up upgrade JFW or dig
 deep quickly into Hal...
