ttysrv - connect to a serial port and log output
SYNOPSIS
ttysrv [-o option] [-s sock] [-l log] -t tty [-b baud] [-p parity] [-w wordsize] [-i pidfile]
DESCRIPTION
ttysrv is the backend for rconsole. It connects to the serial port, handles the log file and waits for connections from rconsole to view
what's happening on the serial console.
OPTIONS -t tty Specify which device to connect to.
-s sock
The name of the socket to listen for connections from rconsole on.
-o option
Specify any ttyios options to open the port with. Currently only nolocal is supported.
-l log The logfile to write to. If not set then no log is kept.
-b baud
Set the baud rate to talk to the port at. Defaults to 9600.
-p parity
Set the parity for the serial port. Defaults to none.
-w wordsize
Set the word size for the serial port. Defaults to 8 bits.
-i pidfile
The file to write the pid of ttysrv to. If not specified no such file is written.

ncpd(8) System administration commands ncpd(8)NAME
ncpd - Daemon which handles the serial link to a Psion
SYNOPSIS
ncpd [-V] [-h] [-v log-class] [-d] [-e] [-p [host:]port] [-s device] [-b baud-rate] [long-options]
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 plpfuse and plpftp and other front-ends. It auto-connects to the psion, even after unplugging/switching off therefore it can
run all the time if you can dedicate a serial device to it.
OPTIONS -V, --version
Display the version and exit
-h, --help
Display a short help text and exit.
-e, --autoexit
Exit automatically if the device is disconnected. Furthermore, use the current tty as I/O device. This option is intended for start-
ing ncpd on demand using mgetty's auto-detect function. (A patch for mgetty is needed for that).
-v, --verbose=log-class
Increase the logging level of the program. the possible values for log-class are:
nl Set NCP debug level to LOG
nd Set NCP debug level to DEBUG
ll Set Link debug level to LOG
ld Set Link debug level to DEBUG
pl Set Packet debug level to LOG
pd Set Packet debug level to DEBUG
ph Set Packet debug level to HANDSHAKE
m Set overall debug level to verbose
all Turn on all the above logging on.
-d, --dontfork
Do not background the daemon.
-p, --port=[host:]port
Specify the port to listen on - by default the value for the host is 127.0.0.1 and the value for the port is looked up in /etc/ser-
vices using the key psion/tcp. If it is not found there, a default value of 7501 is used.
-s, --serial=device
Specify the serial device to use to connect to the Psion - this defaults to /dev/ttyS0
-b, --baudrate=baud-rate
Specify the baud rate to use for the serial connection. If the word auto is specified, ncpd cycles through baud-rates of 115200,
57600, 38400, 19200 and 9600 baud. Default setting is auto.
