   I think I'm going to recompile it from the source.  I did that first and   
   that's when I saw it working "locally".  Since then I've tried the binary from   
   a different archive and that one doesn't seem to work as far as I can tell..   
   In other words, if I run it from the command line there's no echo to the   
   console as you mention, but I can see it's running with ps aux..

   That document wasn't in the first archive I downloaded with the sources.. I   
   did see it in the archive that only had the binaries.

   Yes, I have bbbs create the DOOR32.SYS file... I've used that with another   
   door (forget which one it was)..

   I saw that when I ran the version I compiled.. not with the linux binary that   
   came 'pre-made'

   Makes sense really... :)

   Sounds good.. :)   
      
   Take care,
