• Problem with doors

    From alonzo@21:1/130 to All on Friday, May 30, 2025 05:54:02
    I am still having this weird problem on my board. I have
    several DOOR32.SYS doors on my board and I a using a
    separate computer to call and test these games. When I
    pick a door and run it, the door will pop up on my
    HOST computer instead of on the computer I call in on.
    And then the computer I call in on freezes and does
    nothing until I can disconnect and try again.H

    I have "share" turned off on both computers - both
    are running Windows 10. At first I thought I done
    something to mess up my settings on the BBS but
    I even tried installing a new Mystic BBS and it
    does the same thing! Python scripts and MPL programs\
    work ok, but not doors that use the DOOR32.SYS
    or DOOR.SYS drop files. Any idea what I could
    be doing wrong?H
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. If I wasn't
    bald already, I would be tearing my hair out. :)

    Are you using NETFOSS?
    That is what is required to 'push' doors 'through' the telnet connection.

    No, I am not using that. I will give it a try. I just thought it was
    relly strange how everything would pop up on the HOST computer
    instea of on the computer you were calling in on. And it would
    lock up both computers. I don't know how to use NETFOSS but
    I will look into it. Thanks

    Feel free to send me an email and I will forward you some configs and some .bat files for reference. NETFOSS is what is required to "route" BBS door game "traffic" through the Telnet Tunnel to be viewed remotely. There are a few games that I gave up on because they would never show up remotely and would only show on the local PC screen.

    Pardon the typos, I was using connectbot. My tremors make the android

    Problem is, when PCMICRO took over everything, they still charge (even today) way too much for the software. I mean, sure, $20 USD isn't bad, but for the few games that may require it, I just delete the game because most of them can't be registered anyways without hacking.

    And, you still may require netfoss depending on the game. The free trial wasn't worth setting up

    "Doorway includes a HOST (Server) and a CLIENT (Terminal) modem programs for full functionality without needing 3rd party software, and it's compatible with most other DOS communication software. Doorway is also compatible with telnet access under Windows32 by using NetFoss."

    Pretty sure PCMicro offers a significant discount for Sysops.

    Another alternative to all of that is to use Linux/dosemu. ;-)

    I didn't ask for a sysop discount, I thought $30 for unlimited nodes was
    quite reasonable. I use it for about 10-15 door games at least. It's definitely worth the cost!
