Ximian Connector runs on the Exchange server, and is a server component. 
Basically, you run the X Connector parallel to your Exchange service, and 
then you connect to the X Connector with Evolution. The X Connector acts 
like a translator between Evolution and Exchange. Nifty idea I suppose. I 
wonder if they had to pay a license fee to Microsoft, or reverse engineer 
the Exchange protocols?
