Hi Adriaan,

glad to hear that you think this is useful. When you put it on your website 
you might need some more details. I have added them inline.

I am not sure whether these settings apply to any palm handheld. You can check 
by attaching your palm to the USB, then press the Hotsync button. In Konsole, 
run 

# udevinfo -a -p `udevinfo -q path -n /dev/ttyUSB3`

If this doesn't produce a long output among which you find the abovementioned 
two SYSFS{} then try other /ttyUSBx. Be sure that you run this while the 
Hotsync button jut has been pressed.

In case the output gives different settings for SYSFS{product} and/or 
SYSFS{serial} then use these settings in the rules file, which you then can 
save as "00-palm.rules" in /etc/udev/rules.d/

The first entry ("pilot" here) must be the same as the definition in "NAME" in 
the rules fie above. Put all this into a text file which then gets saved as 
"00-palm.permissions" in /etc/udev/permissions.d/
