???? The only time I had problems with COM/IP was with Win98 using the built in
fossil; once I put WinFossil in it's place it zoomed. COM/IP and WinXP just
live together perfectly using the internal fossil!

Another option is NetFoss. I've been beta testing it and it's improved
dramaticly; the only current limitation is it does not support binary transfers
but that should be implemented in the next major release. If you want to use
the DOS based BBS you'll need a TCP/IP front end like Argus or Manning TelServ
(even synchronet may work) for the intitial "pick up"... Best part, all
mentioned is free. www.netfoss.com
