Regarding the mention of 'plptools', the 'ncpd' deamon (designed to connect to Psion organisers and Nokia Communicator phones) and which is automatically started by installing 'plptools' was causing this.

After messing around smashing the keyboard to pieces in enough frustration, the following was a good enough workaround:

  $ diff -U0 /etc/plptools.conf*
  --- /etc/plptools.conf 2006-08-10 17:02:38.000000000 +0100
  +++ /etc/plptools.conf~ 2006-08-08 18:04:47.000000000 +0100
  @@ -4 +4 @@
  -START_NCPD=no
  +START_NCPD=yes

BenC: what was your fix, and does this still need to be looked at in 'plptools' itself?
