   I know this thread is ancient... but I am curious about this...   
      
   Lets just pretend I am crazed.. ok.. so its not so much pretend...   
      
   So I sudo apt-get install dosbox   
      
   Then lets say... you put this in the dosbox conf   
      
   [serial]   
   serial1=modem listenport:3141   
      
      
   Then you mount up a C drive with FD etc... installed   
      
   XOO loaded up for a FOSSIL and point FD at that FOSSIL with COM1 and dosbox   
   doing its virtual modem thing...   
      
   And thus **** potentially *** FD would run via net versus DU???   
      
   Have you done this???   
      
   I might try it after I rectify some things, due to the idea that is swirling   
   in my brain.. this is why you should not read echos late at night! :) ;)   
      
   I find this very interesting... although I think there are some huge problems   
   in getting FD to actually do this ie: dial something like: fidonet.me.domain
