Yes sir, see below here:

 PH>  SO> gotten 17 infocom games to work perfectly using netfoss. How ever som

In fact the version is:
                        -= NetFoss Internet FOSSIL =-
                                for Windows

                                 Version 1.20

It is strange how some work perfectly and others have one of the two
display issues I pointed out in my initial post. My gut tells me it is a
NetFoss issue just by all the configurations I have tried and observed on
both the BBS machine and user machine. 

I know there has to be something I am missing as I see for example the
infocom game Trinity, it will not show anything on the user end but looks
perfect on the BBS machine in the user window.  

infocom game Nord and Bert shows on the user end but each line of text
overwrites the previous, like no line feeds. Yet on the BBS machine in the
user window it is displayed perfectly.

This is why I am reaching out, im out of ideas and knowledge on this.

Is there a better fossil driver?
