Not #ifdef UNIX, but #ifdef MSDOS ;-)

Of course the TCP/IP stack should be provided by the OS... if not, making
another NOS is a huge work, it isn't?

I hate MSDOS, I hate EMS, I hate TSRs... }:-[
But as MS-DOS can't handle multiple processes, the node could be done
as BPQ or PCFlexnet, it is better than hardcode it into the BBS.

Who wants so many users? But supporting KISS is not too hard, as there are
a lot of authors that have done routines for this. You could speak with them.

As it have benn said yet, MSDOS users should continue using MSDOS programs,
as there are many of these, and good ones. If they want this brand new BBS,
they should try a good OS first...

As far as I know, config.h was required because of MSDOS memory problems.
NOS versions on other OS's have almost all #define'd.

It's a good idea. Please pay attention to him :-)
Peter, afterall it's a great job you're doing programming the sources.
Sorry for the many mistakes I could have made because of my bad-spoken
english...
