Not a good substitute. Broadband access is ubiquitous now. A laptop user should be able configure their laptop for 'DHCP' and have it just work wherever they go. Having to use a different mail server just because they are coming from a different network is stupid. Telling a customer to dial in to check mail when there is a perfectly good T3 at the office is moronic. Giving a customer one set of settings that will work both in and outside of the TW network is the smart thing to do, and not all that difficult.
TW has some smart people working for them (Hi, Ben) but sometimes I wonder how badly their hands are tied by management.
