   I think you would use a door command but then have it run a script that would   
   copy the drop files from the node's temp directory to wherever it has to go   
   for GameServ to read it.   
      
   I've never used GameServ so I am curious what it does that would be appealing   
   to use?  Mystic for example already does the same door I/O redirection and can   
   auto login/create accounts via RLOGIN/SSH.  Is it just to have a centralized   
   thing that isn't built around a specific BBS software?   
      
   To be clear I am not trying to question the decision or something like that,   
   I'm just trying to pick your brain to get inspiration!  I have a bunch of   
   ideas of my own to revamp Mystic's own door system that I've been meaning to   
   do for years now, but its always good to collect insight from as many people   
   as I can!   
      
   (Oddly enough Mystic 2.0 demo from 2001-2004 time period has a lot of the door   
   stuff I wanted to do and that stuff is STILL not in Mystic 1.x in 2021 lol)
