plptools for Debian
----------------------
-This version defaults to connecting the Psion to /dev/ttyS0 - if you
-connect to a different serial line you will need to change the plptools
-init script (e.g. /etc/init.d/plptools if you use SV5 init)

-The Debian version of plpnfsd mounts the Psion disks to /var/lib/plptools/mnt

+use udev to start and stop plptools instead. Sample rules are given in

Description: Access a Psion PDA over a serial link
- This package lets you access Psion drives over a serial link. You
- can mount them, pseudo NFS style, access them FTP-like, use a local
- printer from the Psion (Psion S5 only) and perform backup/restore.
+ This package lets you access EPOC devices' drives over a serial link.

.
- The software is partially based on p3nfs, which is also packed for
- Debian, but plptools uses the native Psion protocol, whereas p3nfs
- requires a program to be installed on the Psion.
