Remote Development with Visual Studio 2003

So, our .NET framework here is catching on, and there are some people in other departments who want to use our VIT namespace for new application development. This is great for us, despite the extra time and effort it's going to take to get them up to speed. But, it poses a big problem. See, we've been granted special permission by the network Ogre here to run IIS on our local machines. Gasp! Can you believe it? We're really living on the edge. Anyhow. The Ogre is really going to get upset and start breaking things if he is asked to give this permission to a developer in another department. Which leads me scratching my head about this very simple issue:

How does one do development remotely with VS 2003? I haven't done any remote development in years, and I'm glad I don't have to do it, but I was wondering if anyone can give me some pointers about best practices for doing this?
