I think you are confusing the code that enables telnet capability with the code
that enables DGT capability. Th original DGT board was useful only for Fritz 5
until Bob also wrote code for CRAFTY to connect to it. The generic driver you
are talking about is the code for telnet sessions. You still need the individual
drivers for each program. The original dos auto 232 worked because Chrilly
hacked the code for each DOS program  by himself. Unless the same thing is done
for each windows program, only Fritz 5 and Crafty will be useful with DGT.
