Outlook remote clients

[D]

Hello,
I am looking for a way for our users that are working out of the office and
using outlook 2002 to have a local copy of our Exchange address books. So
that user name look up is easy and does not pop up that annoying message
about not finding the server.
Clients connect to our Exchange server 2000 via SMTP or pop3 method. Seems
you can only access the servers offline address book if you use the Exchange
server type connection.?

Client don't want to use OWA, don't always have access to VPN due to
Firewalls at remote sites.

cheers

One way would be to export the GAL to a format which the users can then
import into Outlook, for a way to do this check out
