I am trying to get a MS Outlook client to contact an Exchange server
behind Firewall-1 with SecuRemote and the exchange protocol.

Using FW-1 v4.0 sp1, SR v4.0 build 4005, exchange server 5.5 and outlook
98.

TCP/IP, and netbios works fine.  I can see the exchange server and any
NT files shares that it has.  I can even connect to the exchange server
via POP-3.  But I cannot connect via the Exchange Protocol to see all
the public shares.

It appears that the initial request from the client is being decrypted
by the Firewall, but no return connection are occuring and Outlook times
out.

Any help is appreciated.

I'm not sure how your firewall is interacting with Outlook, but I've found
timeout problems with Outlook to be related to DNS issues in the past.
