COM1 port in linux?

I'm trying to get the palm pilot tool to work in Redhat 8, my cradle is connected to what i've always known as "COM1", however that doesnt seem to exist in linux. What device name is the equivalent to COM1? Also, has anyone used the pilot tool, and is there anything better for hotsyncing, etc?

Thanks

Try /dev/ttyS0 (first serial port).
