If it's a udev issue (i.e. the device goes away when not in use) then this may
help:
Try creating a file called /etc/udev/rules.d/10-visor.rules with this content:
BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="Palm Handheld*",
KERNEL="ttyUSB*", SYMLINK="pilot"
Seemed to do the trick for me. If it doesn't work, you can also try adding a
file called /etc/udev/permissions.d/10-visor.permissions with this content:
ttyUSB1:$local:uucp:0660
