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 + +-Fritz + |
