Yea,

Too bad Palm doesn't support our OS. They only support Window$ and sort of
MAC OS. Yet M$ is planning on wiping them out with CE once the monopoly
busting feds turn their backs. OK enough politics.

Anywho,

Grab the latest pilot source or rpm's of pilot link or gnome pilot
from http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnome-pilot/

Couple of things to ensure:
1. create your sym links to /dev/pilot -> ttySx (where x is your serial
port)
2. set rate of transfer with pilotrate command
3. grant access to users of dev and ports

Good luck!
