Open /var/log/system.log in the Console if you want to see what happens when the Palm connects.Note : If you disconnect the Palm (there should be a Disconnect button in the Internet-aware Palm app you're using, but some apps disconnect themselves automatically) and want to reconnect it, you'll have to type this in the Terminal :
