No, you don't need to use a fossil driver with BBSLink.

You'll want to make sure you have .NET 2.0 installed (https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=22808) so that the executable is able to run.

If you have BBSLink unziped into C:\mystic\bbslink it may also be helpful to add:

C:
CD \mystic\bbslink

Right under the first line (@echo off) of the bbslink.bat file so that it switches to that directory.  That way the .exe can find the included .dll file.

After that, as long as you have the menu entry setup as shown here:

It "should" just work.
