The package consists of two programs - PortRedorector and PortTest.
PortRedirector is a daemon that runs telnet to the remote port of the
terminal server and redirects its input and output to a virtual terminal
device (/dev/pty*). The corresponding slave device (dev/tty*) then can
be used by an application that expects a local async terminal port. For
example, to monitor a UPS (connected to AUX ports on a Cisco router)
using nut.
Whenever telnet subprocess terminates on any reason, it is restarted as
soon as any data received from the terminal device.
It can also work when authentication is required, i.e. it can pass
username and password specified in its configuration file.
PortTest is something like cu(1). You can use either of them to test the
connection.
===> The following configuration options are available for pr-1.1_1:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
*/*: Remove BROKEN in all ports that uses bsdforge.com for MASTER_SITES
Site is now back up

*/*: Mark all ports that uses bsdforge.com in MASTER_SITES broken
The domain bsdforge.com has expired, mark all ports that only
uses bsdforge.com as broken (unfetchable). Additionally set ports that
uses bsdforge.com as primary site and have broken mirrors as broken
too as they're also unfetchable.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Convert ports to use the options helpers in categories [abc]*, and minor fixes.
