Many thanks for very helpful advice and education - you explained issues very clearly. Here is a proposed schematic of how this might work. Did not know any of that important stuff - are there any tech articles out there that you know of about these issues that you can point me to?

This proposal to sync 2 Macs and 2 iPhones uses LAN to W2000 server for OF "neutral territory" and BusySync for iCal sync over LAN. See attached image for the connections.

All comments and suggestions on this idea appreciated. Thanks again.

Any feedback about BusySync?

PROPOSED SETUP

Sync 2 Macs OF with 2 licences for OF over LAN to Server. Arrange different sync times to avoid conflicts

Sync 2 Macs with iCal over LAN using BusySync

Sync Each Mac to individual MobileMe accounts

Sync each iPhone to individual Mobil Me accounts

End result is each iPhone has synced iCal and OF. That is the aim anyway :-)
