I sync my Palm Treo 650 very happily with JPilot over USB. It's been
working fine ever since I got the Treo a couple of years back. I'd be
happy to help if you have problems. One advantage (unless Windows has
caught up) is that it sets the time on the Treo from the Linux PC,
which can be very accurate if you're running NTP.
