It's a virtual modem driver that lets serial communication 
programs (ie terminal programs, BBS's, etc.) function on a tcp/ip
network.  It's not a fossil but the package does include a 
special DOS fossil driver that can work with the SIO.SYS comm 
driver if your DOS BBS program expects to use a fossil.
