Ask them to implement OWA smart card access according to Microsoft's directions:
"Log onto Outlook Web Access with Smart Cards"
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/technetmag/issues/2007/07/SmartCards/

Which requires they have "Microsoft® Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) 
Server 2006" in front of the exchange server to make exchange accept a 
Kerberos ticket based on a smart card login to ISA.  [As I understand it.]
