I have had some initial success doing this.  The information for each  
contact is getting syncronized between my Treo 650 and my LDAP tree.   
However the name field is getting mangled.  I'm fairly certain it has  
something to do with the way LDAP stores names (typically using cn  
and sn, where the cn attribute often has both the first and last  
names and the sn attribute only has the last name).  I've spent zero  
time so far trying to correct the problem, but I suspect this can be  
relatively easily worked around.  If you do come up with a good  
solution, please do report your success as I'd be interested in a  
"known good" Turba+LDAP configuration.
