Yes, of course.  I'd forgotten about BNU.  This wasn't something I used
much, having started BBSing in mid-1993 [*] and moved to a native OS/2
setup by about 1995.

[*] I disctinctly recall my Telecom 2400 bps modem costing $AU 180
second-hand in July 1993.  :-)

I still have some old Turbo Pascal source code I wrote in 1994 that
interfaced with the FOSSIL driver.  I think I was planning on writing a BBS
door (probably a game like Barren Realms Elite) but lost interest.
