 KO> However...

 KO> I cannot get any kind of outbound net tools to work
"under" TG, which

be common to
 KO> all fossils, or at least the three I tested, NetFoss being one of them.
 KO> I tested under two telnet servers, and in each case had the server
 KO> simply spawn an instance of the command prompt with no fossil, from
 KO> which internet tools worked fine.  In fact, they always work fine, as
 KO> long as the window wasn't opened "under" fossil (I know
there's better
 KO> terminology for what I'm saying, but the exact nature of this is
 KO> somewhat new to me). 
 KO> The point being, from what I can tell thus far, Telegard + WinXP (and
 KO> presumably 2k and NT) = no outbound tcp connectivity for the users.

 KO> Even if I use WinXP's "start" to cause a completely new window to
 KO> open, I  have no tcp access, which is quite odd since Netfoss appears
 KO> to "losr track"" of that window anyway.  But for certain minor
 KO> functions I could always cause "start" to open a fresh
window with a
 KO> .bat that unloads the fossil and performs it's task, assuming that it's
 KO> a task where data can be saved and referenced from anywhere.

 KO> I was going to eventually end up here with this, so I thought now
 KO> would be as good a time as any.

     I have no clue about Netfoss so not sure what it even looks like.
     What other fossils you try?  Netmodem/Comip/Winfossil?  I don't
     do telnet here so have no experience with setup help but there
     are good faqs on the above 3 fossils that might help.
