Get the irenhanc package from Palm -- this makes the IR port programmable
through the serial manager, so any app that uses serial will automatically
use IR instead (selectable in Prefs).

(you may only need two of the four files -- see the readme in BeamSync)
Then install IrLink ($) or BeamSync (free)

then set up IrCOMM on Linux, and you can use pilot-xfer or similar to
hotsync over IR, for example, or roll your own.
