.SH DESCRIPTION
ncpd is the daemon which handles the serial link to your Psion.
It listens at port @DPORT@ 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)
