  He did mention that to me, but when I told him about what I was
wanting, he thought that that particular project may not be what I
wanted or needed after all.

  There are several doors that I used to run...and none of them were
designed for fossil operations...just direct comport i/o from what I can
tell. These are the ones that I can not run under Telnet...according to
the helpfile that Pistolgrip put out awhile ago.

  One in particular is a "ham radio packet" door, but it is on comport 1
of the system. The thing is, with telnet, I think it tells the fossil
door dropfiles to use comport 1...and, there's an obvious conflict.

  I keep checking the DOSBOX website every so often, but Deuce
apparently has other prioritites...and it appears that DOSBOX is low on
the wish list, as it were. I can write a batchfile, but my programming
ends at my VCR.
