Hi Robert, Have you by any chance tried to use Activesync over Bluetooth yet, or don't you need to do it as you can access your lan via Wi-Fi? I will be doing likewise soon, but as a temporary measure, I've been trying to Use the Activecync 3.7 to communicate with my Widcomm bluetooth USB key installed on my XP desktop machine and it won't play ball! My cell phone sees the desktop pc fine via this Bt device. What was odd was that when I said yes to let the PK search for Bt devices, it did find my desktop machine, I pressed Enter and supplied the authentication key as the manual describes. But I wasn't asked for a key by the desktop machine part of the pairing. The only service which PK claims to be able to see on my desktop system is a modem. But I'd have thought that Activecync would appear in that list! If I run Activecync itself, it just goes round and round telling me that it couldn't find my remote device!
In all other aspects, by the way, I'm a completely satisfied user of PK in only 24 hours! I spent a long time considering which way to go, since if you're going to spend that sort of money for personal use, you really have to be sure that you won't regret your decision in a few minutes - I most certainly don't! I'd call it an absolute winner from PD myself!

This is an option with the PK. My network connection at home is a wireless connection. I purchased a Sandisk combination wireless and 128 meg flash memory card. It works great with the PK. I would imagine that the PK browser would work just fine with your bank. It has worked with everything that I have tried so far. Robert Carter At 03:00 AM 11/3/2004, you wrote: >Hi Robert.
