   You seem to be one of the people deliberately making it   
   more complicated than necessary, to keep software in   
   the hands of the elite.   
      
   I have no idea what you are talking about.   
      
   What I do know is that from PDOS/386 I am able to connect   
   to my BBS. There is nothing complicated about it. The only   
   unusual thing is the use of XON to know when to switch from   
   read to write mode.
