Well... GameSrv's intention -IS- to run doors in the first place :)  I
can't see why he would percieve a problem with using that.

The only reason I can see a BBS SysOp paying for their telnet front end is
if they need to do outbound connects for mail purposes via telnet.  GameSrv
does -not- do that.  You can get inbound mail via telnet with it, but no
outbound.
