MS Exchange Connector

[David Holland]

Hello, I know theres been some discussion about this before but can't seem to find it on kclug.org. 
 The company I work for uses MS Exchange for all our email and scheduling but I'd really rather use 
Linux on my desktop.  Is there a connector other than the $70 one from Ximian?  I'm able to do some 
tasks using the Exchange web interface but its very very slow.  Would it be easier to use Win4Lin 
or some other MS emulator and just use Outlook on Linux?

Thanks in advance,
  David
