Since the BBSLink client for       windows is based on the R&M Telnet Door, it needs the DOOR32.SYS. From this       file, it should get the Handle and the user number. The only thing else that's       needed it the door code and that you pass manually as a parameter when       invoking the telnet door from the RA menu.                      ml> NOTE: i've not actually tested any of this... it should work or at        ml> least be very very close to what is needed :)                     Dennis                     --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20150715        * Origin: The Wall Caribbean & Central American Hub (1:135/301)    |
