There will be an documentation update for IPC on our phpGW site the
next days. I'll post it here.

I used the client from Synthesis.

I tried to download the Calmeno sync client demo, but the link is
broken. Can you send me the demo please?

This is the goal :). See my concept diagram
(http://www.probusiness.de/projekte/phpgroupware/pdf/Sync%20Concept%20Modul%20Diagram.pdf).
You should replace Layer 5. This is the SyncML server and it would be
good if we have a native PHP syncml server. There is no sense to do
the layer 3 work twice, because it should be nearly the same for all
servers.

Take a look at the /sync directory. There are is our implementation of
Layer 3 and the Java Interface for Sync4j.
