Yep, I have got it loading from the BBS in local mode. But It doesn't
get the user name from the drop file in that case, it always says "Alan
Ianson" is online. I'll keep experimenting and see what I can do.

That'd be the best solution. A lot of these doors I am trying to get
running are almost 10 years old, I think some of them are even written
in QB.. :) Not going to run the office with this stuff but they do what
they do very well (in the dos world).

I've been keeping an eye out for linux door development but haven't
seen much. I've seen a few pre built binaries that don't run here
for reasons unknown. I'll keep looking.. :)

 Ttyl :-),

... There's always one more bug.
