[NTLUG:Discuss] Serial Ports and Palm Pilot

[Alan Andrews]

If you're not trying to sync as root (hope not) you'll have to allow
your non root users to access the serial port directly.  The quickest
way is just to chmod a+rw /dev/cua0 (cua1 for serial 2).  I'm sure there
are other ways, but that on WILL work.
