   I once wrote a complete manual (in norwegian) for setting up DOS doors in BBBS   
   for DOS (I did run BBBS under DOS/Desqview until Kim made an NT/windows   
   version)  including the discription of different types of drop files.....   
      
   As I said, DOS doors will not work in Windows, there is no way that the OS   
   will let an application (BBBS) pass "DOS box information" to the TCPIP stack.   
   End of story. Kim has explained it to me, and there is nothing that can be   
   done about it appearently.

   In the old days (about 10 years ago) i had hundreds of logins every day, and   
   had to set timelimits for the users. I was the largest LORD BBS in Norway. Now   
   I have telnet callers a couple of times a month. I disconnected the POTS line   
   last month. Had not had a single modem login the last 6 years! :-)
