What version of NetFoss are you using?  There was previously an issue (fixed in
1.23R or sometime around there) which caused a false loss of carrier from time
to time.  Is BRE getting this situation every time the door loads or just on
occasion?  The NetFoss bug was pretty intermittent.

D3 is used to shell to 32 bit doors.  It doesn't actually load DOSXTRN.  You'll
need to use DX instead.  Also, have you manually installed DOSXTRN.EXE to the
Mystic directory and SBBSEXEC.DLL to Windows\System32?

Don't forget to stop loading NetFoss when using this option.  DOSXTRN provides
its own FOSSIL driver.

To stop using FOSSIL support in BRE you'll need to edit the game's RESOURCE.DAT
file and set the FOSSIL option to NO.  Depending on your setup you might have
more than one of the resource files to edit.
