Describtion
===========
nfoss.exe is a FOSSIL implementation redirecting the communication calls
to NASI / NACS (Novell Netware). This allows the use of Fidonet Mailers
and other communication programms in a Novell Network. I tested nfoss
with FrontDoor Release 2.11 and with Telemate 4.12.
Usage
=====
Nasi must be loaded before you are starting nfoss.exe
nfoss loads the driver resident
nfoss /u unloads the driver
nfoss.exe is not a complete FOSSIL Rev. 5 implementation! If your software
uses some of the calls (0x07, 0x0d, 0x0e, 0x10 - 0x17, 0x7e, 0x7f) you
have to load an other Fossil driver like bnu or x00 before you run nfoss.
All calls not handled in nfoss are passed to the original int14-handler.
nfoss.exe only redirects the calls to channel 0 to NASI / NACS. All other
calls are passed to the original int14-handler.
nfoss.exe takes the first modem it finds in our modem pool.
Known bugs / problems
=====================
I hat to set the modem register S9 to 0 using FD because there was a to large
delay between the connect string and CD-signal.
Bug Reports, comments
=====================
Please send any comments and bug reports to one of my email adresses.
Pleas let me know the names of the programms working with nfoss.
