When I first started configuring my Palm, I did some troubleshooting by
putting the palm on the cradle, doing a cat /dev/ttyS0 and then pressing
the sync button on the cradle. When everything is ok, you'll start to see
a lot of garbage on the cat output. I also had a problem because another
process was using the port, so I did a fuser -u /dev/ttyS0 and checked
which processes are currently using the file.
