Never personally tried it over dial-up, although we have a few users doing that and I've heard no complaints (then again, I am not on the Help Desk). It works fine (Outlook97 & 2k going against Exch5.5 & 2k) over DSL/Cable.
There is one annoyance which may account for the port 135 reference - Outlook over VPN does not update the Unread Items counter in a timely fashion. Sometimes it takes a few minutes for incoming mail to register via the counters on the right side of folder names. I recall that there was some UDP port you could open to fix this, but we left things closed. Clicking on any folder would force an Unread Items count update.

But I've heard the performance is really dismal especially over dial-up. I've also heard OL 03 with EX 03 takes care of this problem, by using RPC over HTTP. Should we wait and upgrade to OL/EX 03 instead? What are other OL(2000) to EX(5.5/2K) over VPN connectivity issues?
