If you use udev (like me) you can put something like this
in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-udev.rules (for example) :

BUS="usb-serial", ID="ttyUSB1", DRIVER="visor", OWNER="jonatan", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="pilot pilot1"
BUS="usb-serial", ID="ttyUSB0", DRIVER="visor", OWNER="jonatan", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="pilot0"

This way I always have the /dev/pilot symlink (along with the optional /dev/pilot1) pointing to the right device for synchronizing my T5, and the /dev/pilot0 pointing to /dev/ttyUSB0.
Before using udev I would end up with the /dev/ttyUSBx being incremented each time I pressed the HotSync button.

How do you mean absolutely fine? You still cannot sync things both way,
right? Or do you use another program besides the standard for calendar
and tasks on the T5 (ie. one that uses old-style database)?
