   the problem is two-fold...   
      
   1. RA has no way to determine if the connection is POTS or TELNET...   
   2. RA has no way of knowing the socket handle number of a telnet connection...   
      
   the first two lines of door32.sys need the above in formation and there's just   
   no way for RA to get that information...   
      
   according to the 2000 revision 1 specification of DOOR32.SYS, three bbses   
   supported it... Mystic, EleBBS, and Synchronet... i'm sure that others also   
   support it these days... especially if they support telnet connections   
   directly without needing a shim providing a virtual modem...   
      
   aside from the above, i don't know of any way of running DOOR32.SYS doors from   
   a RA system...
