**ERROR***

Sorry...when I said below it is recognised in the cradle as Guest after it
loses the Remote partnership I was wrong.

The iPAQ is still recognised as username/Device_ID in the cradle even after
it has lost its partnership when dialling in remotely.

Also the bit about the new PC having the same problem was also wrong. This
has not been tried yet.

Whoops...sorry...

Thanks & regards,
