We are currently using TightVNC to do stuff over a modem and frankly it
works 
way better due to the high compression.

Hi
IMHO you need to identify your needs

GUIs across a modem are a pain, VNC is better than some
SSH and text apps are quick and easy
   teraterm and teraterm ssh for windoze
   ssh for standalone linux boxen

None of this is LTSP, and LTSP is probably not appropriate.

If I was implementing this
I would have the nomadic-laptops access the internet via SomeISP
Use their own browsers via the SomeISP
Use evolution to retrieve/send mail via your-server
use scp to fetch and send documents to your-server
work locally on the documents

I would firewall the server and allow smpt and ssh
Your server needs a fixed IP to access it remotely (by name-or-number)
