What tcptty does:

tcptty is an adapter for programs that expect to communicate with a tty so that they can be used with a TCP connection. It is most useful for the Palm OS Emulator 3.2 or higher which allows "Serial over TCP" communication. Using this feature along with tcptty and pppd will allow you to establish a virtual LAN for Palm OS Emulator sessions.
