No, I run NT 4.0 here, and have found many of the same problems with it
that it had under Win 98. It doesn't support a DOS mailer very well, which
you may need to run alongside Com/IP, and it may force your modem down to
9600 baud connections. It also interferes with other fossils you may try to
run to support such a mailer; even interferes with BinkleyTerm's video
fossil.

It's simply a poorly written fossil driver. Com/IP itself works equally
well under Win 9x or Win NT, but it's internal fossil doesn't work very
well for either OS. Winfossil is a far superior driver.
