Jonathan, Dan, I haven't mucked with this much in a couple of months but I got my USB Handspring Visor working 'sort of' under Linux (RH 7.2 I believe). I had to recompile the kernel to get USB-Serial support. It was not easy and it didn't work very well. Maybe the newer distros have better USB support.
A much easier option is to get a serial cradle! Anyhow check out http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/PalmOS-HOWTO/ or a goodly number of Palm-Linux sites (do a google search).
