RE: Getting Exchange working with a PDA
Get him a Blackberry, or maybe better yet a device running PocketPC that will support wireless VPN/Pocket Outlook, if you have a VPN solution already in place. IMHO POP sucks and it is very insecure - it uses clear text passwords. -Jim Jim Holmgren MCSE, CCNA [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Engineer Advertising.com We bring innovation to interactive communication.

RE: Getting Exchange working with a PDA
If you are open on the Cell phone vs. PDA check out www.wirelessknowledge.com They have an integrated solution with Sprint and Nextel phones. All the software is resident on the phones, so there is no palm software to have deal with. It accesses wirelessly over the web via a gateway server on your network, and it's native exchange access, with contacts, calendar's, the full boat. Most synching products don't give you everything wirelessly (to slow), or forward mail to a pop account, and then try to synch up what you've read or responded to from the pop account. These can be frustrating, and synching in general sucks. Much better to have native access to the data. Have a nextel guy come out and due a demo. I was pretty impressed. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 9:56 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Getting Exchange working with a PDA Okay, the boss would like email access on a PDA (can't say as I blame him, really).

RE: Getting Exchange working with a PDA
Hi Jim, Thanks for the reply. My challenge is that he's really stuck on the idea of a phone/PDA all in one. We do have users VPNing in over Netscreen, but I'll have to check and see how that will work with a PDA running Palm or PocketPC? I agree that POP isn't the best solution, but where I'm new to this area of Exchange, I was just throwing it out there.

RE: Getting Exchange working with a PDA
Evan, There is a Cell phone/Blackberry combo (the BB does have PDA functionality), and I also believe MS is finally bringing out their Cell Phone/PDA shortly (nicknamed Stinger, I believe). We have one user with the Cell/BB combo and many others with the standard Blackberry. All are very pleased with the service. The cell combo uses Cingular's service, which has been a bit spotty in the area I am in (Balt/Wash), but it is improving. I think ATT is supposed to be offering cell service on the Blackberry soon as well. Good Luck!
