FOSSIL is . . . the only abstraction for serial communications

Eric Hughes says: the PC has . . . There are at least 7 versions of INT 14. Then there's Ungerman-Bass's old INT 6B as well as two flavors of its successor, NASI/NCSI. There are also many variants of COMx device drivers. These are all serial line abstractions for the PC. There are others. FOSSIL may be popular on BBSs, but NASI/NCSI is number one in the market. The oldest version of INT 14 is number two. Who was it said "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from"? :-) Doug
