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...
