NetFoss will work with any DOS based software that is `FOSSIL aware’, such as BBS programs, BBS doors, and serial/modem communication terminals. NetFoss can also be used with native Win32 BBS programs, to allow DOS based doors to be run via Telnet. NetFoss includes the Net2BBS Telnet server, and NetFoss is also compatible with several third-paty Telnet servers. Nearly all DOS based BBS software can be run with these using NetFoss.
