I never found the answer in any FAQ list.

Apparantly MS Outlook works. There are synchronization tools for both Newt
and Palm for Outlook, and it should just be a matter of synchronizing Newt
to Outlook and then the Palm to Outlook.

I didn't want to send Microsoft my money, so I used an old copy of Lotus
Organizer (2.1) in a similar way, but I had to purchase Puma Intellisynch
(and the old version of that too--the newer version doesn't have the
translators for 2.1. You'll need Intellisynch 3.7 I think which is still
available on the Pumatech.com website) in order to synch with the palm. In
my case, ordering Intellisynch was less than buying Outlook by about $20,
but it still wasn't free.

There really oughtta be a way to synch *anything* to a vCard/vCalendar LDAP
server without having to resort to proprietary software. The options above
are for if you're running Windows. The options will be different on a Mac.

Good luck,

Steve
