I have been out of the VADV/VBBS loop for a long time and it looks like you
found a way to solve your problem, but figured I'd throw out my $.02. There are
two things you need to do in order to successfully run NetFoss with Vista:

1. Disable UAC.
2. Copy the NetFoss.dll file to C:\Windows\System32. This is also supposed to
be true for Windows 7 and 8.

If you don't do those two things chances are your DOS BBS and/or games will not
answer the phone so to speak.
