FOSSIL

For other uses of the term, see Fossil (disambiguation)

FOSSIL is a standard for allowing serial communication for telecommunications programs under DOS. FOSSIL stands for Fido Opus Seadog Standard Interface Layer and was made by a group of Fidonet sysops to make their software work on different machines.

Two popular FOSSIL drivers were X00 and BNU.
