Thanks sethlo!
http://www.consilient.com/ works well for the most part, and allows users to push up to five email accounts to their PPC for free.
Update... One issue so far... sometimes the Push icon will not open the consilient software here for some reason. That said, after a soft reset, it works fine again for a while. So... for the moment, I have set it to manual push, and will keep testing it.
Best to all,
