I don't think "Direct Serial" was an option until PalmOS 3.3. (Visor runs modified 3.1 and is not flashable). However, there are a couple of ways to do this.
1. In Preferences -> Network, define a new connection type. Set the phone # to "00". This is an undocumented switch to create a direct connection without dialing.
2. Make the connection at USB speeds using "LinkUSB". Check out usbvisor.sourceforge.net for more info.
The 4.x Win32 Notes client has been functional under wine for some time. Most functionality is there and the stability is pretty good too. The 991031 wine release only improves on this. Now I just have to find time to try the R5.x Notes client (which hasn't worked well with previous wine releases). See the Notes for Linux Resource Page Here for more info.
Based on a comment I saw posted on Linux today with the WINE announcement, I tried Quicken Deluxe 99 last night and it works! Far from perfectly, of course. The Quicken home page doesn't display at all, but the register and calendar stuff seemed to work fine.
