  • KFOSSIL 1.0: a FOSSIL driver for DOS

    KFOSSIL is a new FOSSIL driver for DOS BBS software and door games. It handles COM1 to COM4 at any address and IRQ, with interrupt-driven buffers, 16550A FIFOs and RTS/CTS or XON/XOFF flow control. It uses about 5K of memory for one port and unloads again with KFOSSIL /U. The /C option keeps carrier detect on, for null-modem cables and DOSBox.
