How can I synchronize my pocket access database on H3870 remotely?

If somebody can help me in providing me the detail regaring...

1. What kind of card do I need for wireless remote connection?

2. On H3870, do I need an expansion slot to connect this kind of a card?

3. Once I have the card, how can I setup the device and the desktop to be able to talk to each other?

4. Using the same card can I access the Internet also?

Please help.

Well I have looked into this, I had planned on connecting my Handheld via mobile phone to my desktop so as I could update outlook using activesync after days of looking on the interenet I decided to contact Microsoft and see if it was possible, yes you can connect a handheld to mobile then onto internet easily but if you want to connect to your desktop forget it. Microsoft have not even looked into it. You could write a VB program that could do it but the problems you are going to face are as follows.

- Modem, write code that will work with all types of modems prgrammers are finding hard enough to connect two computers together using one type of modem let alone taking into consideration all the types of modems that are available now.
- Autoanswer and run activesync
- Activesync is also not capable of running via modem the code is specific to mobile devices and this is what it would look for when running, so say you where able to run active sync it would attempt to connect to the cradle as this is what the code is built to do.

If you happen to come across someone wh has a program that is capable of doing this let me know, I have been looking for a bit of time to do this.
