We have an executive that has three PCs with the same userid/pw running Outlook 2000 to an Exch 2000 server. Are there any known problems with this senario? Occasionally gets lock-ups during dial-in (uses send/recv F9) while synch running and old messages that were deleted reappearing.
What happens if he disconnects during the sync processes - does part sync or is there a corrupt problem?

There isn't a problem having the mailbox opened on 3 pc's so long as you set it up correctly. First is each pc should use the same exact profile name. Second if the offline folder issue. Normally you only use offline folders if it is a laptop and they are traveling or a machine at home. The user has to be made aware that what they do on amy machine affects all machines as the synch will change things on the server to match the offline folder. the last part is pst files. You can have a pst file on the network shared by all three machines but only one machine can actual be in a pst file. So your main concern will be to ensure the profile name is exactly the same on each machine.
