So NetSerial will pass the virtual com ports when loaded on the Host - to
the DOS VMs running the BBS nodes?  I never thought of that.  It sounds
like another option.  There are positives and negatives to it, like
anything else. DOS support would give the best compatability, but then
limit the partition sizes.  

Would it be possible to load NetSerial in another VM and pass those virtual
com ports to the DOS VMs?  Probably not, but thought I would ask... :)
