There are some very good tools to use. 
the dlpsh utility can give you some information as will usbview. 

You may possibly need to patch the kernel. Apparently, the Palm devices are 
hard coded in:
/usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/serial/visor.[ch]
You may beed to add #define PALM_TREO_700_ID in visor.h and 
    { USB_DEVICE(PALM_VENDOR_ID, PALM_TREO_700_ID),
                .driver_info = (kernel_ulong_t)&palm_os_4_probe },
in visor.c, then rebuild that driver. 


But, before you do that, try using dlpsh and some of the pilot-link command 
line tools. The USBView utility will give you the Product ID you need for 
PALM_TREO_700_ID. In my case the TREO_650 is Product Id: 0061.
I have not looked at the 10.1 kernel sources, but I suspect that this should 
migrate into an update shortly.
