Hi Mark,   
      
   >sounds like BBBS opens the port handle in DENY ALL mode... this is like when   
   >opening files... you can open them in READ, WRITE or READ/WRITE with or   
   >without DENY... without DENY allows other software to access the same file a   
   >the same time... it should be a simple attribute set in the code that opens   
   >the port to fix it... but that's an eWAG (educated wild arsed guess) ;)   
      
   I realy dont know what is wrong i think so that BBBS locks some thing there   
   indeed...   
      
   Also when i install the door and start it up via a telnet call i dont see   
   the door or the error message on the telnet site only local i can see it, so   
   what i think is that BBBS dont alow any DOS doors ad all...   
      
   I'm running now other BBS software and there it works perfect on becoss i   
   have many user that playing here online games and i need the doors, so i had   
   to make a choice, what i also know is that a other sysop that was a windows   
   version beta tester of BBBS this know a long time and hi tels me that there   
   is no DOS door that every will work on BBBS hi told this to Kim but hi never   
   fix that i think... That's realy a shame on Linux it works perfect what i   
   know from Janis... But i dont know anything about Linux and even how to run   
   a door on that ...   
      
   Greetings,
