RDA with limited connectivity

Apologies for cross posting but I can't figure where to post. Please
feel free to move my message elsewhere (notify
mat<at>oldhallsoftware<.>com) cheers
I have an ASP.net app that mobile service engineers use to exchange
info with our back office systems thru GPRS. Works great but my
company has a national phone contract and in some areas the
connectivity just isn't up to scratch.
I'm now researching a store and forward solution with Vis Studio 2005.
Have read all the help stuff but have a few questions....
I'll be saving data entered by engineers to a SQL modile db and using
RDA to send data back via existing stored procs.
Any ideas on how i test for connectivity and whether a transaction has
completed with RDA.
Any links to useful resources would be very welcomeI suggest a forum such as
http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroup...b&lang=en&cr=US
or the asp or c# version of it.
I have never used RDA as it has many flaws as with all mobile or semi-mobile
comms. I have, though, used merge replication from a PPC to a back ofice
using a sqlce .sdf and gprs. Merge replication automatically checks the
connection before it connects. Also, How do you use this app in dev, do you
check the connection using active sync?

RC2 - 128 bits?

Does SQL 2005 RC2 provide 128 bit keys on Windows 2000? Or is it limited to
40 bits on Windows 2000?

And by the way, does SQL Server Triple_DES encryption use the EDE mode?
Thanks
