I use Microsoft Outlook, and I sync using Outlink from PDA Direct. It works
pretty well. #1 problem is that it doesn't sync meeting locations. #2
problem is the Newton client doesn't work (yet) with a SER-001 attached.
Other than this I'm happy with it -- it's fast and reliable.

SoftPrintPack from SYTEK Canada will let you print to a local or network
printer from a Newton using a Windows PC as a bridge.

I install gigantic packages all the time with Windows NCU and never
encounter a stall. Import/Export don't work for me, but package install
works fine.
If you can't get NCU working you might try Thomas Templemann's DIL tester
which has a package installer that even works over TCP/IP.
