I don't know where you can get info on what it is, BUT I can tell you how I use it. I use pts-redir to redirect a ppp session to an ssh tunnel, thus creating a VPN link. It's documented on linuxdoc.org in the VPN-HOWTO. (pty-redir for previous releases was replaced by pty-redir in RH 7.0).

I know it does something with pseudo terminals but I don't quite understand it...
