Current Version is 5.12

New Features in Version 5.12:

• Includes current linux bluetooth rfcomm implementation
  (standard with linux kernel 2.4.20)
• Support of SonyEricsson P800
• Speedup of 50% over irda and bluetooth

Not only is p3nfs stable, it also is very fast. Users have reported for the p3nfsd/nfsclient solution a transmission speed which is up to 3 times faster than the Windows solution.

The Problem
You want to copy files from and to your NOKIA Communicator from a UNIX/LINUX based system. While there is the very nice PLP-Tools package for devices under EPOC R5 (like Psion), this does not work for the Communicator anymore.

The Solution
If you have been using Psion devices alongside with UNIXish operating systems for a long time, you will probably remember (or even still use ;) the p3nfs software by Rudolf König, which makes basic NFS functionality available on the Psion.
The software has been ressurected by him and has been extended to work on EPOC R6 and specifically on the NOKIA Communicator. While at some point the PLP-Tools should integrate this functionality, you may use this solution in the meantime.
To use the Software, download this file and follow the instructions in README.NOKIA. The package contains a prebuilt LINUX binary.

Please note the following caveats:

• This software is free but not heavily tested. We don't promise anything (but it works without problems for us).
• There are some strange things with flow control on the NOKIA 9210 (basically there seems to be no real flow control) which may lead to unexpected results.
• The UNIX side works for our RedHat systems here, but we think itshould work for almost all UNIX/LINUX systems
