 The tty argument will typically be that of a serial port with a KISS or 6PACK
 TNC attached, although it could be a pseudo tty or a KISS port emulator such as
-an SCC card. The port arguments is the name of a port as given in the
+an SCC card. Kissattach supports BSD-style pseudo-terminals as well as
+the Unix98 pty's. If the tty argument is "/dev/ptmx", then Unix98 behaviour
+will automaticaly take effekt. With Unix98 pty's, the slave tty name
+could not be forseen. That's why kissattach will print the corresponding slave
+pty name as a separate line on stdout.
