The jist of what I've read so far is that Ximian Connector is a client, 
costing $69 per seat license, that connects to Exchange. From 
www.ximian.com...

" Ximian Connector is a unique client software extension that allows Linux 
and UNIX users of the Ximian Evolution groupware suite to manage personal 
information and collaborate with Windows-based co-workers using Microsoft 
Exchange 2000.With Ximian Connector installed, Ximian Evolution will 
function as a Microsoft Exchange 2000 client, enabling users to manage 
their email, personal calendars, group schedules, address books and tasks 
lists using existing company Exchange 2000 servers."

As I understand, it also interfaces through OLA (Outlook Web Access), 
which must be running on the Exchange server for browser-based access.  
The term "server product" caught my attention.  It is, though, closed 
source.
