I have pretty good results with jPilot...

As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, your system won't start mounting
the USB device until you press "Sync" on the Palm, and it commonly
takes a second or two for that to "stabilize," so you certainly do
need a bit of good timing.  But it hasn't required anything
over-omniscient, in my experience...
