This utility will be of particular interest to those wanting to test their systems locally, simulating a full connect, logon and logoff using no or a direct wire external connection. It will also assist (a little) those wanting to delve further into the workings of FOSSIL.

FUTIL - What is it?
FUTIL is a small TSR (terminate and stay resident) utility which acts as a wedge between FOSSIL and a FOSSIL aware application (such as a mailer or BBS). Using keyboard commands, you can simulate modem return codes and FOSSIL status information to 'fool' the application into thinking that it has connected, received carrier and has a remote user logged on. This is very useful while setting up a new BBS, or to simulate a modem to modem connection with two locally hard-wire connected machines.
FUTIL fools the application by providing the means of intercepting FOSSIL calls, optionally 'eating' transmitted characters, returning modem result and connect codes and manipulating various modem status information returned by a FOSSIL. All result codes and status changes can be entered and manipulated from the keyboard.
FUTIL is known to work with BNU and Opus!Com. It will normally work with X00, excepting where an application uses the "x00" high level language interface to bypass INT 14H and call the driver directly. Therefore use with X00 is not recommended (but will usually work).
In thory, FUTIL should work with just about any other FOSSIL in a 100% PC, PC/AT or PS/2 compatible under MS-DOS.
Wenn Du Probleme mit C/C++ / C++/CLI Programmierung hast, bist Du hier richtig, sonst falsch.
Und DOS Programme machen unter Windows eigentlich kaum mehr Sinn; es sei denn Dein anderes Programm ist auch DOS basierend...
