Synchronet and Winserver can run regular old "non-fossil" doors. 
Mystic and
almost all other software that uses netfoss cannot.  That doesn't make it
lacking anything or bad software.  If you had stated a week ago that you were
trying to get a non-fossil door to work with netfoss, then we could have saved
you some time.  Sorry that you had difficulty getting doors to work and
obviously got frustrated about it but its not Mystic's fault.  Netfoss is a
fossil driver and such requires doors to have fossil support.
