Not likely, RPC over HTTPS is actually using a lighter weight MAPI protocol, so its doubtful you'd be seeing this on anything outside of Microsoft. More than likely the alternate methods will be using either WebDAV on Exchange 2003 (Microsoft's earlier versions of Entourage 2004/2008 for Mac and Novell Evolution on Linux use this) or Exchange Web Services on Exchange 2007/2010 (EWS is required for the built-in Apple Mail client to work and of course Entourage 2008 EWS). If you see the requirement of the client requiring EWS, this is not backwards compatible with Exchange 2003.
