  plpftp is a FTP-like program for manipulating files on the Psion.
 
  plpnfsd is a daemon, which provides NFS-like access to your Psion.
+ It automatically makes the psion's filesystems available below
+ an NFS-mounted directory (default /mnt/psion).
+ By default, plpnfsd is installed suid-root, so any normal user
+ can start it and get's the mounted directory owned by himself.
+ As this program is usually used on single-user machines, this
+ does not hurt security. Like the others, this program
+ auto-reconnects after a link-failure, so you can keep the
+ psion mounted all the time, even when it is not connected.
+ Due to Rudol Koenig's clever error-handling, you don't need to
+ worry about blocked io-processes if the psion isn't available.
+ You simply will get an "device not configured" error, when
+ accessing a file on a previously connected psion which has been
+ disconnected. After that, the mount-point will appear empty.
+ As soon as the psion is connected again, the subdirectories
+ will reappear. (possibly with a few secs delay)
 
 Have fun.
