PILOTRATE is an environment variable. If you're running /bin/sh or
/bin/bash as your shell, you can set it with:
export PILOTRATE=57600
If you're a C-Shell (csh or tcsh) user, you would use:
setenv PILOTRATE 57600
The number you give PILOTRATE is the baud rate at which you connect to
your Palm. The default (if you have no PILOTRATE environment variable) is
9600, which is abominably slow. Myself, I use 57600, but you can use just
about any other valid values (like 19200, 38400, 115200). The value that
works best for you will probably depend on your serial hardware, but most
modern hardware can easily do 57600, and possibly higher.
