So it _is_ a serial cable? Not a USB one? SUpposing that you have windows
running on the same machine, you should know whether the Palm attaches to
COM1 or COM2. The trouble is mapping the port to the device name Linux (?
... you know, it's a good idea to mention what operating system you're
running) uses. For that, I haven't a clue. It's probably something like
/dev/ttyS0.

If you're a sensible BSD-user, then:

	dmesg | grep ^sio

will tell you which ports the kernel recognizes. Based on the address, you
know whether it's COM1: (3f8) or COM2 (2f8). Devices /dev/cuaa0 (sio0) and
/dev/cuaa1 (sio1) can be used to communicate with them.
