Outlook98 will allow you to publish free/busy information, for group
scheduling, to a web server.  Check in Tools/Calendare Option/Free Busy
Options.  I believe it publishes in vCalendar Busytime format which is the
closest thing around to a standard for exchanging this information between
platforms.

Once you have set everyone up to publish their Busytime you can then point
everyone to the webserver and they can access that info fairly
transparently.
