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.
