   Which version of Synchronet?   
      
   By default the Synchronet Virtual UART driver emulates COM1 (not COM3). But   
   this is configurable:   
   https://wiki.synchro.net/config:sbbsexec.ini   
      
   However, it'd be better to configure your door game to use COM1. And FOSSIL   
   (int14h) is generally more performant that COM/UART I/O, if you care about   
   performance.
