    Here's the problem:

    I've got two laptops. Both for work. My old laptop I must use because I need the older version of Word on it. Long story. (Newer Word versions are not totally compatible w/ old)

    The only thing I need really off the new computer is email. They have Outlook 2003 set up w/ Exchange through a VPN.

    So I'm trying to figure out a way to forward email from the new laptop or access the email on the new laptop when I'm in BFE with only the old laptop.

    And since I have to be connected to the VPN on the new laptop to access email I don't think I can use stuff like 'GoToMyPC.com' (I believe)

    It just says Exchange Server.

    I would go with Open Office but our Word documents are style intensive. I don't want to screw around. Not using the old version of Word. This is a million dollar project and the core are the documents.

    I think I'll just have my wife forward the mail each night. I don't want to lug two laptops to Chicago, Florida, NC, Chicago, NC and maybe Chicago again.

    Or maybe I'll just mail the new laptop to the hotel.
