If your want to share an address book I would recommend to setup an LDAP server. You can use any old PC - install linux and OpenLDAP on it - relay not a big deal and not expensive. I'm using an old ASUS T2P4 with a Pentium 166 MHz and 42 MB Ram. It also acts as Domain controller (Samba TNG), mail server, ... Cheers Roland
