 tm> I did the following:
 tm> command line DARK16.EXE /N%#

I don't have a DARK16.EXE..  My archive only had a DARKNESS.EXE and dark32.exe. DARKNESS.EXE is the 16-bit DOS version, and dark32.exe is the 32-bit Windows version.  Are you sure you have a DARK16.EXE?

 tm> in externalbat file in that node which is 3 has:
 tm> :EXEC
 tm> DARK16.EXE /N3

 tm> That is for sure wrong isn't suposed to be D:/NODE3/DOOR.SYS ?

That command line looks fine.  The command-line /N3 only specifies that it's running for node 3.  From that, it seems the door knows which of its node-specific configuration files to read (in this case, it would read NODE.3), and that file specifies where the drop file is located.

After you run DARKCFG.EXE, you may notice it creates those NODE.# files after you configure the settings for each node (which includes the location of the drop file).
