It's the sign of the times.  JSON has more to do with data vs communication. 
It'll make it easier to share telnet data with web or otherwise.  It'll make
it more universal.  As far as FOSSIL drivers.  I find that they're just there
to support older technology that don't have proficient COM support.  That too
will change as newer doors and telnet utility software are geared for 2017+
and not 1990s.  We can't stop progression.  Otherwise the only systems that
we'll be able to support our BBSes going forward will be retro ones.
