Palm VIIx & Linux

[Nathan Saper]

I have a Palm IIIx that I use with the commandline tools.  They are quite
easy.  Just download the pilot-link package.

Do a "pilot-xfer -i <filename>" to install, "pilot-xfer -b <dir>" to backup,
etc.

There are also tools to sync the addressbook, mail, etc, but I don't use
them too often.
