If the Agenda is anything like a Palm, you don't use pppd. You use things
like coldsync and pilot-xfer. Agenda's website says that they use
Quicksync, so I'm guessing it's a degenerate HotSync (Palm's sync
protocol). As for the ttyS01/ttyS1 issue, go with the canonical ttyS1.
The ttyS01 that you see in dmesg outpt is valid, but is pretty much
deprecated outside kernelspace.
