The IIS Licenses only will make you live on water & bread for a
considerable amount of time ... If the developer knew that this app
was to be used by mobile users, why did he/she use ASP ?????
I'd go for a VPN solution (ca. $5000 for a Watchguard firewall/vpn server)
and have them dial-in to your network.
You might be able to create an Access database, that you can fill up through
an XML interface ...
In the regard that it is an app that's used for use with clients, why not
create a secure website that the sales guys/gals can access from any internet
connection ?

Cheers,
