Tried that type of approach that wouldn't show up on the telnet side even with
the sockets handled correctly. The way I figured is to have the BBS make a 
door.sys and a semaphore file then logout without hanging up. That will
bring you to the Synchronet Matrix menu witch is programmed to look for a 
semaphore file. The file would correspond with whatever door you selected and 
then a nifty little util converts the door.sys into a door32.sys before the 
door is loaded.

The problem is without a way to log a user back in after the game your dropped
to the matrix menu.
