Compatibility of Redhat 2x Terminal server with ISA 2006 / IAG for Secured Remote access to server & Applications
You have a lot of options, but your 2x Terminal Server solution will probably be the cheapest. You can look into some VPNs like Junipers SA-2000 SSL VPN which is easy to manage and allows very granular access controls. For the OWA part, you can use a front-end Exchange server to host too.
