I had problems early on (with my Palm Pilot -- I don't have a Visor) and
it turned out that it was due to my frequent plugging and unplugging from
the serial port (at the time, to take the cradel home with me).  Since I
purchased a second cable for home use, I only have `grounding' issues (I
need to ground myself before I put the Palm in the cradle).  Still, even
though I've "killed" both of my Sun's serial ports over time, they've
eventually come back (don't know how exactly).

Hope this helps.
