Answer 1

I need a little more information on your setup.

Basically 2003 server includes VPN so yes that is possible. But you need to tell us how you are connected, If it is through a router you will need to port forward the internet to that servers ports for the server to be seen from outside. If you are directly connected to the internet you need to know the public IP of the server etc.

You can also use the Exchange system to connect using a web browser (this does not require a VPN) but does have to be enabled. The result is less than a VPN will provide but does allow some access.

You should probably visit Microsofts site for information on configuration -- it does have some amount of complexity!

Here are a couple of links to help you.
