Not only has the readme not been updated, but PDA Connect itself hasn't
been updated. I wouldn't expect it to work with any newer versions of
Hotsync, Activesync, etc.

I'd recommend looking into GMS.

Have any of you had the chance to try these two products out together?
In the Groupwise PDA connect 7 readme, it mentions that only
hotsync/palm desktop 4.x/5.x are supported.

I am not sure if this means that Hotsync 7.0 is not supported - or if
the PDA Connect readme has not been updated since the new Hotsync came
out.

Anyone know if these two products are compatible?

I ask because we have two users at our university who just purchased
new Palm Centros and would like to sync them with Groupwise - so far we
have had no luck getting them to sync successfully - everything installs
fine - PDA Connect will just display "getting user identity information"
and then error out.

Any help or suggestions appreciated.

Ecashon.

Thank you Joe for your quick reply - I will definitely look into that,
I just wish there was more information out there for people that are
having these kinds of compatibility issues.

On a side note - we know that Hotsync 4.x/5.x works great with PDA
Connect - are there any dangers of trying to sync the new Palm Centro
with PDA Connect using these older Hotsync programs?

I don't think there's anything dangerous other than it might not
work. :-) I say give it a shot and see what happens.
