[NTLK] Connection to Windows 2000 Pro

Four 2100s and a pile of rechargeables - I figured I was set for the long
haul. Then last year I got my first job where everybody uses PCs. Emails
full of attachments made on complex engineering programs that don't work
with Mac. So they bought me a new Thunkpad and I like it okay. But am now
ready to try hooking my Newt up to it so I can have some fun again. Here's
my question:

The PC runs Windows 2000 Pro. That's all I know about it. For starters I
just want to sync the names/dates files on the Newt with any compatible PIM
on the PC. I tried to hook up via the dongle, but when I hit "connect" the
PC crashed. Actually, in my trials I could shut it down from anywhere
within 10 feet of the Newt just by hitting the IR connection. That might be
some fun at airports.

Seriously, it's great to see the Newt still in use and I want to get back to
it, too. If you can help, I'll be mighty grateful.

Robert
