Matt,
I'm using 7.0-2 and have been successfully using Jpilot and Kpilot with my
Palm V. Of the two, I personally prefer Jpilot. Never tried Gpilot.
Goto: http://jpilot.linuxave.net/ and download the latest Jpilot and
the appropriate documentation. Read the requirements page! You'll need
the latest pilot-link if it's not already in 7.1
I use a baud rate of 115200, and had to create a /dev/pilot character
device and then symlink it to /dev/ttyS1. But all of this is explained in
the docs.
