Scott,
Sorry about the confusion with the version numbering.  I am using a 
PowerBook G4 with Bluetooth built in (12" model).  I do not install 
programs using missing sync.  What I was talking about was transferring 
files from the PPC to the Mac using bluetooth.  Basically, Active Sync 
disconnect in the middle of the transfer which locks up Missing Sync.  
Like I mentioned earlier, when I look at the status monitor in the 
Bluetooth Manager, it continuously says "connected" and then 
"disconnected."  It only does this when transferring files... not when 
syncing via iSync.  The signal is "just right" during both occasions.  
After the lockup, I end up having to Force Quite MS and then restart 
the PowerBook.  If I just try to relaunch MS after the lockup, it just 
sits in the dock bouncing... it does not open.  If I try and repeat the 
procedure after a reboot, I get the same results.

Thanks for the help,
Chris
