RE: NTLK sync names b/w two MPs?

1) Keep track of the cards you have added/modified by filing them in a
separate folder and then beam them back and forth. Drawbacks: intensive,
prone to errors, slow when there are a lot of cards.

2) Use SoupTransport to wrap the Names soup into a beam. Disadvantages:
unless you really understand the unwrap/put-away options, you may clobber
the target Names soup. Also, SoupTransport costs $.

Also, I am not sure about the OS issue: are both your machines 2.0? I am
not sure about the OS requirements for ST.

I use SoupTransport regularly between two MP2100's with great success.
