   BBBS and DOS Doors

   I run DOSEMU for my Synchronet system.  Perhaps, if I tried I could write a   
   how-to for others that enjoy classic dos door gaming.  That's a long shot,   
   SBBS supports DOSEMU internally and doesn't require much.  Maybe I can find   
   some info on the net and work out a script.  I'd like to first, get a couple   
   doors working on Linux first.  I've been wanting to narrow my system to one   
   BBS as having two offers a limited benefit, if I could combine the two into   
   one package, there might be a little more usage.  My main concern is   
   maintaining my end of Fidonet as my primary duty, then there are the other   
   networks I'm affiliated with then the games.  I'll get something figured out,   
   for now I'll keep the two.  Still waiting to hear from Kim about adding more   
   nodes, time can get busy, so I'm patient.

   Sounds good, glad he got it working.  I use both Windows/Linux respectively.    
   I'm satisfied finally with my setup and requires little upkeep except what I   
   want to do with it in my spare time and to add things here and there.
