Hi all,
I'm new; I come from the NOLUG. Since I've moved to Hammond, I thought I would check ya'll out. I have a question about email centers. My brother-in-law has a small office and he wants to share contacts. He has three workstations (PC's running Windows XP at the time), a Palm Pilot, and Nokia cellular phone. He would LOVE to have all the PC's (at least) and maybe the Palm Pilot and phone share the same contact info. I was trying to think of the best way to do this. Is there an alternative to something like an Exchange Server, which I know would be overkill and I would like to avoid anyway. Can a Linux server do something like this? At the least I could write some sort of program to sink comma delimitated (CSV) exports/imports which is a very ugly solution. I know that the Palm Pilot supports CSV. I have no idea what can be done with his Nokia cell phone. Any ideas? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Most mail clients support LDAP lookup. Shannon On Apr 20, 2004, at 9:18 AM, Kent Busbee wrote: > Hi all, > > ? > > I?m new; I come from the NOLUG.?
