then you might be able to fake the first line in the door32.sys file but
the second line cannot be done... read below...

you cannot make the second line... the socket handle changes every time
there's a new connection... the socket handle is not the same as the
port... there's a new socket handle created for each connection no matter
what port the connection is on... i don't have any active connections at
the moment that i can show you what i'm talking about...

it may be possible that your virtual modem software might be able to pass
the socket handle some how but i don't know where it could be stored other
than maybe an environment variable... the socket handle would have to be
grabbed and stored by your .bat file between the mailer and the bbs... if
you're not running a mailer in front of RA, i don't know how you would be
able to grab the socket handle to save for use later...

... Yeah, I got a modem, a real fast one too, it's a 300bps!
