hi all!
id really like to synch and backup my newt over tcp/ip. therefore ive
contacted www.teamsoft.com, a company that brovide such software, but
unfortunately only with a serial connection for newton. here is a snippet
from the communication. please dont spam eric, it would look bad if everyone
wrote to him on this list ;-D. by this i dont mean you shouldnt contact
teamsoft, as i think their client/server suite is quite good.
thank you

thanx eric!
the newton platform is actually still alive, a lot of software is still developed and independant sources claim tat there still are still some 80-120.000 active newton users worldwide.
im really sorry that team agenda for newton does not suppport synching via tcp/ip. it would be really good to synch the newton with just a cellphone. im subscribing to newton talk, a newton user list with ca 1600 users. we are mostly developers and university folks. one of the things that are discussed atm is synching and dev of synchware. one of the most discussed issues is actually synching between different platforms (palm, windows, mac, newton and so on). if you could connect via the net, teamagenda would be an optimal choice for mixed environments.
a lot of developers are releasing the source for old newton software at this moment. i have a suggestion: if you release the code, someone could try to develop a tcp/ip synch. considering that you actually are charging for the server software, this would not do teamsoft any harm.
thank you
