 well, if you look at the dates on your Fossil (BNU is about 1990-91 or
something), you would find it difficault to believe that a stand alone prgmr
5 yrs ago, could match the R/D that MS has put into it's 3.11 and above
Versions.

 The comm.drv is capable of handle 16650AFN's, therefore ar not lost wehn it
comes time to use that 16 bits for task switching. Overall, IMHO, there is no
comparison..... Just in My opinion mind you (Not trying to start an arguement
here)......

 Also, if the game requires the use fo the Fido-Opus-Seadog effort to make
modem communications more convenient and actually usable at all....

 Load the Fossil before you load the game in the .BAT and then unload it
afterward, then make one change in your SYSTEM.INI:

Under

[NonWindowsApps]

add this line:

localtsrs=dosedit,ced,bnu


 That'll do all ya need!
