mgetty-1.1.21-plp.diff is from Christof Meerwald, and adds autodetection

+2. KDE libs
+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

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.
