How do you deal with your company’s “road warriors,” those people who are always on the road but who demand access to their e-mail accounts? One way is to set up a virtual private network, and let those users dial in to pick up their e-mail.

But what if your road warrior is someone who doesn’t want to lug a laptop around and instead wants e-mail messages forwarded to an Internet mail account? That’s the challenge posed by TechRepublic reader Jerry Loiselle. To thank Jerry for submitting this week’s quiz topic, we’re sending him a TechRepublic T-shirt.

If you know the solution to Jerry’s dilemma, you could win a $25 gift certificate to Fatbrain , one of TechRepublic’s e-commerce partners. (If more than one person submits the correct solution, we’ll put those names in a hat and select the winner at random.)

The situation:
Here’s the situation Jerry described. “A user wants to have e-mail forwarded to a Web e-mail account while he’s away on vacation.”

The challenge:
Jerry wants to know: “How is this done? Is it done on the Outlook 98 client? Is it done via Exchange Administrator program?” Note: This user wants to be able to reply to the original sender’s address.

If you have a clever solution to this problem, please submit your answer no later than Friday, Jan. 28, 2000.
