I am trying with the serial cradle at this time. The
general opinion seems to be that the serial cradle is
easier to deal with than USB (?) The wiki doesn't
cover that. I tried the following with no success:

ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/pilot
chmod a+rw /dev/ttyS0

I found this at:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/PalmOS-HOWTO/pc-connect.html

Should I try the above again with /dev/ttyS1?
Cheers,
