NAME

ncpd - Daemon which handles the serial link to a Psion

SYNOPSIS

ncpd [-V [-v__ ''logclass''__ [-d [unrenderable node] [-s__ ''device''__ [unrenderable node]

DESCRIPTION

ncpd is the daemon which handles the serial link to your Psion. It listens at port 7501 for local connections and provides basic PLP/NCP services for plpnfsd and plpftp. It autoconnects to the psion, even after unplugging/switching off therefore it can run always in background (if you have a spare serial-device)
