   Ele is a RA clone ;)

    RT> 6550 baud  in the door.sys or dorinfo.def   
      
   that is not a valid baud rate... is this using a FOSSIL or no?   
      
   FWIW: the valid baud rates are...   
      
       110, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400,    
       19200, 28800, 38400, 56000, 57600, 115200   
      
   some serial ports support these higher rates   
      
       128000, 153600, 230400, 256000, 460800, 921600   
      
   but they are no valid for our old school BBS operations... in fact, locking a   
   serial port to 115200 in one FOSSIL driver requires one to use 11520 because   
   the baud rate speed value is stored in a word (0..65535)...   
      
   you should not "float" your serial connection... you should run it with a   
   "locked" port rate and then let the (virtual) modem handle the actual connect   
   rate with the remote on its own while talking to the local "port" at one   
   specific rate...   
      
    RT> and there are some doors that then not work,  becoss the not    
    RT> correct baud rate it give out in the door file.    
      
   i don't doubt they won't work with an invalid baud rate like that...   
      
    RT> I had a official key for the QWK mail door of coder from Wildcat   
    RT> BBS and try  to install it and it works but not with that baud   
    RT> rate, and the only door that  i found then was that from Cutting   
    RT> Edge...   
      
   that's weird... unless there's a locked port rate setting...   
      
    RT> But it is oke i will be use it unregistered, i dont have many user   
    RT> that will  use the QWK Mail door it is just that i support it on   
    RT> the BBS ;)    
      
   ok...
