I don't think FOSSIL was ever implemented on a Z80 machine, but when
Fidonet got started back in 1984, Z80's were certainly around.
I was thinking not only of the model-specific patches to DSZ, but the
old Irv Hoff BYE comm program for CP/M. I think one of the old CP/M
BBS programs (QBBS and RBBS maybe?) needed BYE to work. i.e., FOSSIL
wasn't all that revolutionary.
