Your helio kernel has buggy serial port hence I can not use Zmodem transfer
on it, ppp never worked too, just saw ser2net package will try that too, the
ROM image by ccyau (he just disappeared some time in January) that I use has
zmodem working and it has the full file system intact across reboots (I am
not kidding) even through battery changes but it lacks battery status /proc
entry and TCP/IP so I am thinking of uploading pgui into RAM of that running
image and using it through unix sockets. But first after PIM issues are
decided.
I am getting hardluck with pgboard :( in case of qwerty some lines are on
screen, but in case of fitality it seems like a button less minesweeper, I
mean there is no PNM displayed. I tried lcdmono, nifty3d and aqua themes.

There's not really an automatic way to do this yet. I see the current unix
socket support more as a hack than a real solution. I'd like to implement
modular network code on the client and server, so the server could listen on
multiple connection types and the client could automatically select the
fastest method. Not sure when I'll get around to this... It makes sense to
just make all Helio apps use domain sockets though.
