Re: [NTLK] Synching - Was [All sorts of stuff]

I would be interested in this, especially if it's not limited to
Windows/Outlook.

1. I use a mac at home with OS 9 and Palm Desktop would work fine. At
work, I use MS 2000 with Palm Desktop and Groupwise.
2. I would prefer either way syncing but could live with less
3. Calendar, contacts, notes, and email in that order
4. Palm desktop
5. Serial (at work) and/or Ethernet (at home)

I might think of more later too. I would certainly pay for any of
these features.

Thanks for considering this effort. I think this would benefit many
newton users.
