Britt,
Two answers to one question.
1. I route all email to one address so I can get it from home or at work. At the one location (work in this case) I view the emails, but leave them on the server. From the other (home), I get them and they are deleted off the server.
2. To answer your specific question, I connect to our work Network using VNC, (or TridiaVNC http://www.tridiavnc.com/ which includes compression) which is similar to PCAnywhere, but is free and works across many platforms (Win9X,2000,Linux, etc). I send an email to my work PC (running Outlook 2000), and it initiates a VNC session to my IP address. It's slow (because of my home Internet speed), but it works. I can get on the server, install patches, reboot the server, etc. Has saved me an hour commute many times to fix a quick glitch.

How do you connect from home? Dial-up, VPN over Internet?
If you are using VPN, are you using MS's VPN or via a router?
I have been trying to setup a VPN over the internet into a Windows 2K
server, and have been pulling my hair out. I can get it to connect on
the same subnet, but it will not cross a router! I don't know what I am
doing wrong.
Any ideas?
