Mine does.  (Palm Tungsten T.  The first model.)

I do have to press the hotsync button on the cradle, and then wait maybe
5 seconds (feels like ages) before the device actually appears.  It
disappears again when the palm is done syncing.

Some Palms use ttyUSB1, some use ttyUSB0.  You could try

   mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0
   chmod 0666 /dev/ttyUSB0

to figure out which device is right for you.

Well, there's a quantum computer that can factor 15, so those of you using
4-bit RSA should worry.
