Sorry, I misunderstood what you were after.
Yeah, they're considering setting up Exchange where I work too.
Fortunately, they also HAVE to use POP3/SMTP for Internet access and THAT
server is many states away at McGraw-Hill corporate HQ.

Sigh. I feel your pain. ;-)
Fulling user requests is their JOB. If they don't realize that, your
company should fire their butts. IS stands for "Information SERVICES"
or "Information SUPPORT". Too often it seems to stand for Information
Stubborn, though. Or Information Slackers.
IS people who dictate to their users really, REALLY piss me off (but
then, I AM Mac user, so there's a big surprise.....but I'm also, sort of,
in IS myself.)
