If you're using DOOR.SYS these lines in the DOORSYS.MEC file are
the most critical:

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-CUT-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
[delete]%k\Door.Sys
[open]%k\Door.Sys
[islocal write]COM0[ comment          Write the COM port    ]
[isremote iftask]1 [write]COM3    <<<
[isremote iftask]2 [write]COM1    <<<
[isremote iftask]3 [write]COM2    <<<
[isremote iftask]4 [write]COM4    <<<
[isremote iftask]5 [write]COM5    <<<
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-CUT-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Make sure the COM ports match what's actually being called for
in your startbbs.bat or .cmd file.  I remember now that this
fouled me up a long while back until one of the folks in here
reminded me of these variables in the .MEC files.  The same
thing holds true for all the other drop file "scripts."

Don't forget to "mecca" the edited .MEC file!

Best regards,
Marc
