Possible Solution to the notMac Challenge

While .Mac clone is very appealing idea, It's very well known that every Mac OS update changes the .Mac protocol.
What does that mean?
Even if .Mac opensource clone works perfectly. Once you update OSX to, say, 10.4.11, it will stop working and you'll have to wait for developer to update it. If protocol is changed, update require reverse-engineering protocol and it's not an easy or fast to do task.

"Just for the record, Mark/Space offers a similar commercial product SyncTogether, but it sells for $49.95."

Do you have a deal with Mark/Space Mat? :) Is M/S losing sales because of their crappy software and are now trying to get some more cash by some advertising?

Yeah - Mark/Space does offer SyncTogether, but it sure as hell doesn't work.

I've spent countless hours trying all the things their Tech Support suggested, but never got it to work and stopped trying. If you got it to work at all, I'm stunned.

It's too bad, because the apps predecessor, MySync, (bought out by MarkSpace) actually worked well. Too bad it was time limited.

"Just for the record, Mark/Space offers a similar commercial product SyncTogether, but it sells for $49.95."

Link to the product Mat, you just wasted my time again by internal linking when that's not in the context of your writing. I keep reminding you guys this is an idiot SEO method, but at the expense of your readers.

Regarding SyncTogether, I thought that was a local network sync though - I'm looking for a server level untrust to trust.

where on that forum discussion page should I look for good instructions?

For those trashing SyncTogether: With all MacOS updates in place, it works well enough, in particular over tunnels, and syncs Smultron and Yojimbo items (a killer feature). IIRC, the predecessor (MySync, no longer available) *did* do Keychain items, but I stayed away from it, not to mix security domains.

Interesting! I didn't know about this challenge, but I will certainly try the app if it's working.
