There is a 30 day free trial.

Yes it will.

supported on both the server and client ends:

Windows Small Business Server 2003
Windows Server 2003

It is available at the same place you -used- to gety Com/IP ... PCMicro...

Although the liscensing page on the site shows 90bux for a single computer
license, there is a BBS SysOp deal for 25bux.

I have been using it for my old FrontDoor setup that I had scrapped when
Com/IP went to their new HIGHLY insane liscencing structure. It's
ludicrous.  So far netserial has worked flawlessly with everything I've
tested it with, including the terminal program built into FD :)  I never
could get that to function properly under Com/IP.

The major difference is the ability to use "normal" init
strings... it is 100% hayes compatible in that respect.  No more S=1001this
and S=!0003=that... with FD, and recommended for any BBS software, simply
AT&D2|
