Tony-

I think I need to learn more about AvantGo! But I believe ALOT of what
Talikser CE.NET is a about is discontinuous networks. In particular MSMQ
and Active Sync. I believe this all pulls forward (an more) into the .NET
Compact Framework.

I came in mid- thread; I may be mixed up- can you contact me off line?
