-This directory provides some patches, i found useful when working with or
-developing plptools.
-
-1. MGETTY
-mgetty-1.1.21-plp.diff is from Christof Meerwald, and adds autodetection 
-support for the PLP-protocol to mgetty - thus mgetty can autodetect a
-Psion connected to the serial port and execute ncpd (with the autoexit
-option). Having mgetty watch the serial port makes it a lot more easy to
-switch between a PLP (file transfer) and a PPP (TCP/IP) connection. Christof
-used the following login.conf for mgetty:
-
-/AutoPPP/ -     -       /usr/sbin/pppd
-/PLP/   -       -       /usr/sbin/ncpd -d -e
-*       -       -       /bin/login @

-2. KDE libs 2.1.2
-In stable kdelibs there is a bug which prevents all kioslaves from delivering
-mime-types they know. Although this is fixed in KDE's CVS since some time now,
-this fix did not made it into the latest maintenance release of kdelibs (2.1.2)
-Therfore, you will _NOT_ see correct icons unless you apply kde-mimetype.patch
-to kdelibs/kio/kfileitem.cpp and rebuild kdelibs. All other functionality -
-especially that of kpsion and klipsi is _not_ affected.
-
-3. KERNEL 2.2 (DEVELOPMENT ONLY)
-linux-2.2.18-ttytap.patch is a patch for linux 2.2.18 adding a ttytap feature.
-It enables you to sniff all data going in/out over a serial line. I use this
-for sniffing communication between the Psion and a PsiWin running under Win98
-in a vmware virtual machine. After applying this patch, you will find a new
-option "Tty tapping" in the Section "Character devices" of the kernel
-configuration. Enable this option and rebuild/install the kernel as usual.
-When running the new kernel, you will find a new pseudo-device /proc/ttytap.
-It implements various ioctl's and read. The userlevel program for dealing
-with it can be found in etc/ttytap.c. Compile that and then run it e.g.:
-ttytap /dev/ttyS0
-
-My usual setup for sniffing PsiWin's PLP packets is this:
-I have Win98 running under VMware under Linux with COM1 enabled via /dev/ttyS1.
-First, i start ttytap /dev/ttyS1 > PsiWinSession.log
-Then, i start VMware and in Win98 start PsiWin. Now i perform the actions
-in PsiWin which i want to see in the log. After that, if terminate the
-ttytap process. Now i have all the data of that session in PsiWinSession.log.
-I have done a quickhack on Matt's ncpscope so it can read this file directly.

-4. KERNEL 2.4 (same as above but for kernel 2.4)
