This document describes very simple way how to transfer data from  Linux box to Psion Series 5 using PPP.

1 Setup

1.1. Install http server on your linux box and create in its document root directory Public directory. We will use this Public directory for transferring files to Psion. 

1.2. Install getty or mgetty on linux box, so that you can connect to your linux from Psion using Comms. 

1.3. Once you can successfully connect to your linux setup new  Modem called for example 'linux' in Psion Control Panel as follow:
Tab Modem:
	Name:	linux
	Speed:	_SAME_SPEED_USED_IN_COMMS_SETTING_
	Connect via:	Serial
	Fax class:	Auto
Tab Options:
	you can ignore setting in this tab
Tab Initialization:
	Init. (reset) string:	
	Data init. string:
	Fax init. string:
Tab Advanced:
	Flow control:	Hardware (RTS/CTS)
	Terminal detect (DSR/DTR):	Off
	Carrier detect (DCD):	Off
	Modem type:	Fixed Line

1.4. Setup new Internet Services Setting in Psion Control Panel based upon 'Standard settings'. Suppose your linux IP address is for example 193.85.69.95 and your Psion IP address should be for example 193.85.69.97. 
Tab Service:
	Name:	linux
	Connection type:	Direct
Tab Account:
	Manual login:	On
Tab Addresses:
	Get IP address from server:	Off
	IP address:	193.85.69.97
	Get DNS address from server	Off
	Primary DNS address:	0.0.0.0
	Secondary DNS address:	0.0.0.0
Tab Login:
	Use login script:	Off
Tab Advanced:
	Enable PPP extensions:	Off
	Allow plain text authentication: On
	Use call back:	Off

2. Transferring data

2.1. Use Comm to login to linux and start pppd with the following options:
	/usr/sbin/pppd passive persist local noauth

2.2. Exit Comm

2.3. Start Web browser and connect to http://193.85.69.95/Public/ , use linux modem and linux internet service configured in section 'Setup' above. Now you have ppp connection between your Psion and linux box. You can use any program using TCP/IP to connect to your linux  not just Web browser. You can use ftp client or telnet client or whatever.
