Since I have only been doing Linux, I think I can help.
The Linux version of CoPilot (which preceeded POSER) is at
http://xcopilot.cuspy.com/, however the current POSER beta can be compiled
for Linux if you install some extra packages. www.freshmeat.net is a good
place to find updates and bleeding edge packages.
I think Redhat 6.0 includes pilot-link and the development libraries for
Linux as an optional package.
http://www.developer.com/directories/pages/dir.palm.html (where roadcoders
moved to) has a number of links under SDK.
I remember I had to copy the PalmOS 3.0 (or 3.1) SDK includes into the
tree as the original was only for 2.0, but that is probably updated by
now.
A large FAQ is at:
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Horizon/5249/GNU_Pilot_SDK.txt
Which should point you to the rest of the resources.
ftp://ryeham.ee.ryerson.ca/pub/PalmOS/
has current versions of pilot-link and m68k-palmos-coff tools for linux.
The regular pilrc page has source you can compile for Linux. I don't know
if the binaries are included with the above.
