1. Windows XP (two-way sync) using SyncJe for Outlook:
   1. Requirement: Outlook 2003 without Oracle Connector for Outlook (this might work with Outlook 2007 but it has not been tested), SyncJe for Outlook, iTunes
   2. How it works:
      1. Download and install SyncJe for Outlook on your desktop/laptop computer from the URL below:
         http://www.nexthaus.com/products_b_outlook.html#
         (Click on Trial link and then click on SyncJe for Outlook under Program Plug-ins.)
         This process will download OutlookSyncJe-3.0.exe file to your computer and you can double-click it to install. 
      2.  Launch Outlook. First Time Using SyncJe! window should open.
      3. Click on New Server button and fill out the following information and click Next:
         1. Server Name: TechTime
         2. URL: https://calendar-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/ocas-bin/sync/bin/ocas.fcgi^{Image Added}
         3. Web Access URL: http://calendar.mit.edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org^{Image Added}
      4. Enter your TechTime User Name and Password and click Next.
      5. Click on Test Server. Available local and remote folders will be listed. Make sure only Calendar is checked (uncheck Contacts and Tasks). Click on Finish.
      6. From the Outlook Application, click on Synchronize icon.

         4. Select Calendar and modify the Server Folder field to set the date range:
            e.g. ./calendar/events?/dr(-30,60) should synchronize calendar events 30 days in the past and 60 days in the future.
         5. Click on OK to exit. Perform Sync operation.

There may be ways to make the calendar synchronization work, but since everything is tied to iTunes, the work-around must be centered around Outlook on Windows XP and iCal on Mac OS. It might be possible to do a "one-way" synchronization using iCal on Mac, but this will require an extra layer of web service. Another alternative might be to run an automated script on a local machine to import the calendar data on regular basis and then synchronize iPhone using iTunes (this option is also "one-way").
