High speed connections were one. If you wanted to run 14.4 or HST, you needed a fossil driver. But also, because all the door games were written to use a fossil driver rather than direct serial-port access. So the door programmers didn't need to mess around with interrupts and what-not, they could just write the game.
Nowadays, you just use a fossil to TELNET driver. heh. <http://pcmicro.com/netfoss/> -ajb -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
