uh, you've misread something... MMD is looking for a DOS virtual modem shim... 
RLFOSSIL is the only one available for a pure DOS environment...

i put (x00) up there so that MMD and others would be able to associate the name 
with something they might know...

i've used x00 and BNU for years and even written my own FOSSIL driver but since 
moving to OS/2, i went with SIO and have never looked at anything else...
