Access to Palm Tungsten E USB

[Joe]

I am evaluating a Palm Tungsten E.  It has a USB cable and works fine in 
Windoze 98 for hot-syncing, etc.

How do I get it to work in Linux?

I tried kpilot and got:

Version: KPilot 4.3.9 (BRANCH)
Version: pilot-link 0.11.7
Version: KDE 3.1.0
Version: Qt 3.1.1

HotSync Log

12:31:27  Pilot device /dev/pilot doesn't exist. Assuming the device 
uses DevFS.
12:31:28  Trying to open device...
12:31:28  Could not open device: /dev/pilot (will retry)

/dev/pilot does not exist.

I did some googling and it pointed me to /dev/ttyUSB1, but that doesn't 
exist either.

lsmod shows some USB modules, but not usbserial.

What do I try next?

Here is my lsmod:
