   That sounds really cool. What did the game do?   
      
   I wanted to mention that I was messing around with OS/2 and the SIO drivers   
   recently and could not for the life of me get the door games to work in a   
   Telegard BBS. The connection was dropping as soon as the door loaded.   
      
   I discovered the fix in a document that you wrote probably 20+ years ago. It   
   was something as simple as placing an underscore at the end of the line that   
   setup the virtual port. I saw NOTHING in the docs about this!    
      
   Anyway, I recognized your name on the file and wanted to say that it was   
   helpful even so many years after the fact!
