  -------
+ Agetty a replacement for getty on machines running SysV, SunOS or BSDI 
+ BSD/386.  It supports hardware handshaking, bidirectional line support and
+ other stuff.  brian@apt.bungi.com (Brian Litzinger)
+ -------
+ Perl scripts for starting up slip automatically.
+ Curtis Villamizar <curtis@ans.net>
+ -------
+ Su program, sudo, that supports the -c option.
+ brian@apt.bungi.com (Brian Litzinger)
+ -------
+ Attached is a uuencoded tar.Z of vgaset, a program for interactively
+ sizing screens. It can be run from another terminal and is thus usable
+ even if the display is not readable. It outputs a mode line suitable
+ for inclusion in Xconfig. Documentation is included.
+ uunet!lemis!grog (Greg Lehey)
+ -------
+ Yagetty.  Yet Another getty program with handling for dial-ins and
+ dial-outs on the same port.
+ uunet!lemis!grog (Greg Lehey)
+ -------
+ Patch to com.v3 that:
+ Added MODEM_OPEN macro that tests to see if the minor device has the 5th
+ bit set.  If it does then it does the wait for CD otherwise it does not.  The
+ UNIT number now can be from 0-15 (are more needed?).
+ 
+ After applying the below patch on the Com.v3 driver...
+ 
+ Do a:
+ 	mknod /dev/com0 c 8 0		for hard-wired terminals (the default)
+ 	-or-
+ 	mknod /dev/com0 c 8 16		for modems (hang waiting for CD)
+ 
+ or hey:
+ 	mknod /dev/com0 c 8 0
+ 	-AND-
+ 	mknod /dev/modem0 c 8 16	AND HAVE BOTH (what a concept :-).

+ Patch to X server to eliminate having to use stty and a long sleep to get
+ raw mode when using some MouseSystems Mice.
+ Robert "J.Dunlop" <rjd@chaser.co.uk>
+ -------
+ Promiscuous mode was not implemented in the Western Digital
+ driver (at least in the Beta version).  Here is a patch that adds
+ promiscuous mode and makes tcpdump work.
+ andy@terasil.terasil.com (Andrew H. Marrinson)
+ -------
+ I believe the below patch fixes at least 2 bugs from the bug list (#455 and
+ ???) .  The second one I turned in the other day but forgot the auto-response
+ number.
+ 
+ Hopefully it won't create any new ones.  :-)
+ 
+ This patch fixes the problems:
+ 
+ - 'kill -HUP 1' did not respawn a job if you've changed its command line.
+ - init restarted too fast (I stuck in 2 second pause before job spawning)
+ - init respawned a job too fast after it was respawning too fast.  I split
+ 	one define into two.
+ 
+ Let me know if I've done something bad here but our system has been up for
+ hours (and numerous kill -HUP 1 calls) with no problems.
+ 
+ Also, the logout.patch from the patch directory that I applied, generate tons
+ of "can't register logout..." messages (1 for each time a job restarted) so I
+ removed the else and the warning.  Anyone else have this problem?
+ gray@antaire.com (Gray Watson)
+ -------
+ (GAMMA) Recently I purchased a Longshine LCS-8880 el-cheapo 4-port serial card
+ from Altex Electronics for about $75 plus shipping.  The card has a single DB37
+ on the back panel with a cable that fans out to four male DB25 connectors, has
+ socketted 16450-style UARTs (easy to swap out for 16550's if needed), and in
+ general looks like pretty solid hardware.
+ 
+ It supports two address ranges, 0x1a0-0x1bf, or 0x2a0-0x2bf in the 'enhanced'
+ mode where all four ports share one interrupt line, which can be 2/9,3,4,5,6,7.
