Modem-/ISDN-sharing for DOS and Windows. Supports IPX or NetBIOS. Share a modem or ISDN-adapter in your network.
OS/2
cFos/2; device driver for OS/2 to emulate COM ports to allow virtually any OS/2 communications software to communicate via the ISDN CAPI.
Ray Gwinn’s comm drivers for OS/2. SIO.SYS and VSIO.SYS are replacements of the OS/2 communications drivers COM.SYS and VCOM.SYS which come with OS/2. VX00.SYS provides FOSSIL and virtual 16550 support for DOS programs. SIO can be ordered to support any number of ports. Vmodem now has both inbound and outbound Telnet.
VFD is a Virtual Device Driver providing FOSSIL functionality to VDMs (Virtual DOS Machines) running under OS/2. It does this by translating FOSSIL API calls (from a VDM) into OS/2 file system calls.
Windows
Please note: if you are experiencing communications problems with FrontDoor in a Microsoft Windows environment, you may want to try replacing the FOSSIL driver you are using with the ADF FOSSIL driver
COM/IP: A good modem emulator with a FOSSIL driver interface is COM/IP from Tactical Software. Unfortunately, they do not allow third-party distribution of COM/IP. On their web site, you will, however, find links to a number of sites where you can find COM/IP.
