DVB-T dongles based on the Realtek RTL2832U can be used as a cheap SDR
(software defined radio), since the chip allows transferring the raw I/Q
samples to the host, which is officially used for DAB/DAB+/FM demodulation.
RTL-SDR provides some tools to work with these devices:
rtl_eeprom: EEPROM programming tool
rtl_sdr: tunes the device and captures raw data to a file
rtl_test: check the possible tuning range
Asynchronous mode is NOT currently supported on OpenBSD. rtl_sdr and rtl_test
have been modified to force synchronous mode, and the following are not yet
available:
rtl_adsb: simple ADS-B decoder (aircraft tracking)
rtl_fm: general purpose analogue demodulator
(narrow band FM, wide band FM, AM and SSB)
rtl_tcp: provides a network server for remote access to an SDR
gconf_ping() will try to shutdown gconfd, but since installing pkg is
done as root, there is not gconfd nor dbus that can be started when
DISPLAY isn't set and an annoying warning is issued.

Picocom is a minimal dumb-terminal emulation program.
Picocom was designed to serve as a simple, manual, modem configuration,
testing, and debugging tool. It has also served (quite well) as a
low-tech "terminal-window" to allow operator intervention in PPP
connection scripts (something like the ms-windows "open terminal window
before / after dialing" feature). It could also prove useful in many
other similar tasks.

amtterm provides gui and cli clients for Intel AMT serial-over-lan (sol),
and a perl script to gather information and control managed computers.
To reduce depencies when only the cli version is wanted, install the
amtterm-term subpackage instead.
Point to new HOMEPAGE and MASTER_SITES.
Include new license marker (revised 3 clause BSD license) and update
PERMIT*_CDROM lines.
Include a space before "=" (which will be a separate diff next time.
