No new hardware should be necessary assuming the following:
1) They have system to run exchange on
2) Network connectivity is currently available.
The simple overview of the steps (devil is in the details) is as follows
During install you will be ask to join an exisitng site (no) or create a
new site (yes). Be sure that you enter the Organization exactally as it is
in your current site (including capitalization).
Once the install and SP are finished you will need to establist a site
connector and directory connector (minumum) to the new site (exchange admin
in new site file__> new other --_ site connector and configure as
necessary).

Subject: Another New Exchange Admin Question
Sorry for what may be a dumb question, but I have an Exchange server 5.5
running a single site for this division of my company. Now, our sister
company on another network connected via fiber is looking into getting
Exchange.
Do I need to set up a new Exchange server or can I just add them as a site
to my existing server? (if so,how do I do that?) They don't really want to
spend money on new hardware.
Thanks,
Scott
