I am trying to set up my dad's Nokia E51 to sync with a funambol server running on my computer and while the setup is WAY COOL and whatnot, I cannot figure out how to get the phone to sync automatically every few hours.

Does funambol have an timed request that it can send the phone, the phone auto-accepts (per the settings laid down beforehand) and the sync occurs? OR, can the phone initiate and the sync occurs?

Just curious, I hope I can find a solution for this.

Have you found a solution to do this ?
