I'm in the process of writing a BBS program in Ada for MS-DOS, and came upon
the realization that I have no idea how to do the communications part in Ada.

What I'd like to know is, what kind of packages (commercial or non-commercial)
are available?  I'm mainly interested in something with FOSSIL and task
support.

I know how to do this in C and assembler.  Should I just do it that way and
import the functions into Ada?  I know how to import functions, but not data
structures.  I suspect they need to be re-written in Ada, correct?

Thanks for any help.
