No.

It doesn't have to, but it usually makes life easier. Create a symbolic
link from /dev/ttyS1 to /dev/pilot.

After that you want to make sure that you can read and write to
/dev/ttyS1 as a normail user.

To test the connection, make sure that gpilotd is _not_ running, and
type "pilot-link -l" in a console window. If you have the port and link
set up correctly, this will give you a listing of all the databases on
your device.
