  Just click the "Door Server Only" button.  It just answers the
telnet port
and launchs your dos based BBS software.  I use it here and get thousands
and thousands of false connects without crashing.  (Also WinXP)

  I didn't say anything about giving it up... trying to point you in the
direction of a telnet server that is more robust and able to handle the
false connects that is causing your existing one to fail.
