You'll need a data cable to connect the serial port to the modem - a number of these are available from various cable manufacturers. You can also sometimes use a hotsync cable with a null modem but that depends on the Palm device, there seem to be some strange variations to the serial hardware in different devices. For testing you might want to download one of the PalmOS terminal emulators from PalmGear. It can help when trouble- -shooting to identify whether the problem is between the Palm and the modem or at a higher level.
