Either solution would work, but if there are using Notes, and you have
to retrain them to use the web mail you'll have other cost issues.
(Something about clock radios was mentioned ;) ) Also, not having
used Web mail, how do you answer e-mail when you are offline?
Now that I think of it, doesn't Notes have it own encryption routines
you can use just by turning on one of it's options?

I personally would prefer to use https rather then one of the tunnel
clients for the firewall. i don't trust the remote users to secure their
machines enough.
While hotmail had (has??) significant security problems, I don't think
those problems are becouse of the web access, I believe they were caused
by poor decisions of the system designers.
