  Does the DOS BBS software have to have a fossil driver??

  I appreciate all the comments. The Sysop's worst nightmare is when the
BBS is constantly crashing. I get a ton of port sniffers every day, and
the majority disconnect after a minute or two.

  I'll take a look at that GameSrv option...but also continue to work
with a possible switch to Synchronet. But, other things outside the BBS
(health concerns, and doing stuff for my elderly Mom) have taken
priority (as they should).
