Yep.  OS9L2BBS, SuperComm and UUCP are all tested and pretty much work
fine.  You can provide remote OS9 shells via telnet or telnet to
remote hosts from OS9.  DW4 presents Hayes compatible modems on the
virtual devices (/N1 to /Nx depending on how many you load) so
anything can work, though some things that write directly to hardware
or use their own drivers may not without some changes.
