I'll request a +1 on this.

Though I am not sure how "ready" gpilotd is yet.  I heard that some
commits were made to gnome-pilot cvs to support 0.12 of pilot-link but
do not know if it is truly working.  Have also heard reports of people
having success with the rpm's for gnome-pilot being hosted at:

Personally I am just using pilot-link to back up my Treo and waiting til
things settle out on gnome-pilot to get it back in Evolution....
