    Both SpeedPascal and Virtual Pascal are capable of doing this (although 
you will need to rewrite the communications aspect of the door). I believe 
that both include a comm unit of some description, but if you need some help, 
I do have some routines that I'm willing to forward via internet email (size 
limitations make FIDO too cumbersome for this).
