I'm looking to put together a BBS which has a few decent doors. I found the 'new' version of TW2002 which smoothly uses rlogin as a mechanism for play and does not deal with alot of legacy stuff. Are there any other doors
which are as seamless to impliment?
Thanks

just setup the doors like everyone else does.
bbses are about legacy stuff.
twgs is not a door. it's a game server.

Check out BBSLink - it provides a script that makes it very easy to add multi-bbs doors.
Check out BBSLink - it provides a script that makes it very easy tothe problem there is that that script and method are not available for all BBSes and OSes... it is a decent idea but it doesn't fit all installations :?

That's not entirely true. Admiral, check out all of the great Javascript doors that people have made on the Synchronet CVS. Installation is
typically very easy and rather different than the legacy stuff.

I have it running on 4 of my boards - Synchronet, Mystic, Daydream and x/84- and I know of two other softwares that have clients (Enigma I
think, and I don't remember the other...) What software you running?

of course it's true! none of those doors are as good as lord, usurper or tradewars!
installation of doorgames is easy. it's not hard. if someone here finds it hard to install the most popular dos doorgames they need to stop trying to run a bbs for fuck's sake!
He didn't ask for good, he asked for easy. And I happen to like some of the JS doors.

After not being involved with BBSing from 1996, I'll be satisfied with
still existing :-)
I primairly enjoyed such games as Global War and IronOx. I ran a decent BBS back in the day (Starfleet Academy) in the Philla region. I'm not afraid
of complex as I'm a backbone engineer for a large ISP ;-)
the main system is DOS RemoteAccess running in OS/2 eCS... like i
said, decent ideas but not available for all installations...

If you have the Telnet door written by dink (enigma)
I might still have instructions somewhere to hstart that door from
your DOS BBS to make it work.
That's why I started trying to get back to ECS about a year ago, I
just couldn't get the system stable enough.
