Tips on what not to forget:
* Create the '/dev/pilot' device:
serial: ln -s /dev/ttyS# /dev/pilot
usb: ln -s /dev/usb/ttyUSB# /dev/pilot
* Find your port by doing a HotSync and then checking 'dmesg' output.
* As root, change the permissions on /dev/pilot device:
chown 'user' /dev/pilot
chgrp 'group' /dev/pilot
chmod ug+rw /dev/pilot
* With 'pilot-xfer' and 'J-Pilot' start the HotSync from your PDA before
engaging the application's sync features. (/dev/pilot needs to be active).

Found it. It's on /dev/usb/ttyUSB1 according to dmesg.
But for some reason, it still will not connect. it just times out. Any ideas
what could be causing that?
Cheers,

OK - tried /dev/ttyUSB0 through 10 with no luck. Verified that it's
/dev/ttyUSB0, USB1, ... in the process. I specificed that it was a
Handspring USB connection and also tried standard serial. No joy...
Any way I can tell which USB port the mouse is on and work from there, since
the cradle is on the same controller? Could I be doing something else wrong?
Cheers,

I think I can answer the usb one, try /dev/ttyUSB02, if thats doesnt
work try /dev/ttyUSB00-10 until you find the right port
