No, but I have done it with my Palm m105 which isn't dissimilar hardware
wise.
(Eeugh....)

Running "Handheld PDA" on a couple of menus brings up a wizard. The
gotchas were :-

1) The device is set as /dev/pilot - assuming you have a Serial Cradle
this needs to be /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS1 (COM1 or COM2 in Windos).

2) Permissions are set to root root rw-rw---- on those devices so I had to
set them so anyone could access it chmod 666 /dev/ttyS0 (or ttyS1)

3) The speed is set at 57600 baud by default. I had some difficulties with
this but it worked fine at 9600 baud.
