I'm not aware of any package called "pilot-unix".

	ColdSync doesn't have a GUI. You don't need to run X to use
it. You don't even need to be logged in.

	I don't know. I don't think anyone's ever tried.

	Which page? What's its URL?

	You can definitely sync multiple users' Palms on multiple
serial ports simultaneously. So assuming that you can get it to work
over a modem, this shouldn't be a problem.

	No idea. I hardly ever use Palm's HotSync manager, so I don't
know how stable it is.
