I'm using COM/IP and a DOS BBS right now. I spent $85 US a month ago on
it.. are you saying that I can use Maximus win32 with NetFoss? Or even
SyncFoss? I'm interested in SyncFoss, but not netfoss. NetFoss doesn't
support binary file transfers like ZModem and crashes when you try to do
that. 

Thanks,
