It seems like I missed something, I have gone over the setup a couple
times. I have an "echo Are we in the door directory? >door.log" just
before the door executes and I do see that file in the door directory.

But the door itself doesn't seem to load, I see "please wait, loading"
then the screen clears and I get the cursor flashing in the upper left
corner of the screen. CPU usage goes to 100% and I have to kill
dosemu.bin to get back to the BBS. I think I'll try something else and
get back to this.

So I don't need to use a fossil if the door doesn't need one, I can
just setup the door to use com1?

 Ttyl :-),
