If you have USB working already, load the visor and usbserial modules.
(Or apt-get install hotplug and let that do it for you.)  Then access
the device via /dev/ttyUSB1; you might want to create /dev/pilot and
/dev/palm pointing to this device, since those two symbolic names are
what most programs access by default.

Note that if you have other USB serial devices, the device you need to
use will be different than ttyUSB1.  If you look at the logs, it should
tell you which two ports have been assigned to the cradle; you want the
second one:

Aug  6 09:07:15 epoch kernel: usbserial.c: Handspring Visor / Treo /
Palm 4.0 / Cli=E9 4.x converter now attached to ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0 for
devfs)

Palm 4.0 / Cli=E9 4.x converter now attached to ttyUSB1 (or usb/tts/1 for
devfs)

(That bit messed me up for a while.)

Have you looked at the HOWTO at all?
