There are several options, depending on what you already have in
place, how much data you will be copying back and forth, etc...

If you have any network equipment already there (i.e. if you're using
broadband and have a cable modem, maybe a firewall / router, etc) then
you have the option of simply getting the tablet on the network as
well. Then you can just connect over the network.

If you don't have that type of stuff already in place, you could also
consider using something as simple as a USB drive to copy files back
and forth.

As far as synchronizing, the tablet PC isn't like a PDA - so you won't
do the same things with it that you'd use to keep things in sync.
There is no native way to synchronize outlook files, but there are
several manual options, and one of the MVP's in here has mentioned a
third party program I think that works well. I think it was Terri
that talked about that in a post I evidently didn't save. So maybe
she'll jump in with some ideas too.

Do you have any existing networking equipment there?
