You can apparently make static port mappings on Exchange Server:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;270836
And then you have to do it to the clients too, so you'd have to find a port
range that was open at the ISP level... For those who haven't used this -
really handy (free) tool for scanning - SuperScan:

Subject: Re: Outlook in Corporate Mode Not Working
Kim, I'm amazed that your users were able to get in with Comcast. I haven't
been able to get into our Exchange 5.5 server from at home since the
blocking of protocols at the campus border. I had to switch outlook to IMAP
mode and subscribe to my other folders in order to use it at home with
Comcast. Outlook uses port 135 for the login in MAPI (corporate) mode. I
wonder if there is any type of filtering that could be done to allow MAPI
traffic only on port 135? Or will we be lucky enough and Microsoft won't
need to use port 135 with outlook/exchange 2003?

We have the same type of problem you are experiencing. It was working
sometime this weekend but as of yesterday it stopped. All our users have
comcast.

Subject: Outlook in Corporate Mode Not Working
I have an MSU DSL connection, hence a 35.11.x.x IP address. Sometime within
the last few days, Outlook in corporate mode has stopped working for me. I
get prompted for a password, and then after a l-o-n-g pause, I'm told my
Exchange Server is unavailable. I'm then prompted to work offline, retry or
cancel. I've checked with Health Team IS (who manage the Exchange Server)
and am told that they have changed nothing recently, and that the server is
working fine. What's the status of campus port blocking? Any idea why I
can no longer use Outlook in corporate mode? I have users complaining about
this too.
Thx!
Margaret
