Actually, the PalmPilot is a bit of an oddball device.

Connect it to a USB port and your /dev/ttyUSB{0,1} appear.

Start a hotsync operation by tapping the hotsync icon on the device and
they DISappear and then REappear. That's why you have to start by
initiating the process on the handheld, and only after a few seconds
initiate the transfer on the PC.
