It is a much weaker solution than some of the alternatives, but TWIG (http://twig.screwdriver.net) is a decent groupware program which only requires a web browser (even lynx works!) on the client end. Since it stores most of its data via a mix of IMAP and an SQL server, it might be possible to "roll your own" solution for connecting it to Exchange. Its GPLed and has a few mailing lists and a CVS server dedicated to its development. At the moment the calendaring functions are rather minimal, but they are probably the next major focus of the developers, as I understand it. I don't get a chance to read every email on twig-devel, but I do run the CVS server from a server at my job. I've seen a great deal of progress on the program since setting up the CVS server for them and honestly have lost track of the source code because of how quickly the main developers have added and improved things. In the last six months its gone from a decent web-email program to a great web-email program with a large API for expanding it and lots of configuration options for both the user and administrator.
