Using Outlook Remotely Advice for a Novice

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

I am just starting working for myself.
I have a Office PC & a Laptop networked together with a dial up connection (no chance of broadband) to either.

On my Office PC I use Outlook (not Express) for Mail (for 3 email accounts), Tasks, Notes, Contacts & Calander) successfully.

Now I want to be able to use both my laptop & PC and keep them in synch. ie Have a copy of all my data on both. When I am on the road to use my laptop & be able to sysnchronise when I get back.
What is my best method of doing this? Brief Case or Synchchronise?

(note I have 2 iPAQ's I keep synchronised with Active Synch).

Finally, I have an outlook archive file from an old PC. Can I merge that with my current set up?
