on the ipaq, start sshd. then run
# pppd /dev/ttySA0 115200 <IPAQip>:<DESKTOPip> defaultroute persist
on your desktop, run
# pppd -detach /dev/ttySA0 115200 <DESKTOPip>:<IPAQip>
and on another console,
# route add <IPAQip> ppp0

then you should be able to ssh into the ipaq and use scp to copy
files.

good luck,
