    working, for some reason SCFG just hangs.
    I don't think I'm going to be much help sorry.

    Thats allright. Believe it or not, I used to run Synchronet on my Windows
    XP, but had lots of people using the system to Spam Out ... Then I tried to Upgrade and it messed everything up.. So I gave up and switched to Virtual Advanced BBS... That was good for a while, but I switched to Elebbs, then to Mystic... I enjoyed Mystic so much, I stayed...

    I know... Too Much Information.... :/

    Right now, I am contemplating a new door that I can write on Virtual Pascal
    so I can make the game Door32.sys and "Maybe" for Windows, OS/2 and Linux... With Virtual Pascal, I can compile to all 3 (supposedly)...I hope I can...

    I know... I know... T.M.I. again...

    I've never really run Sychronet, I've had it working before and
    experimented with it, but it's too many services enabled by default and
    kind of feels like everything and the kitchen sink to me. People make
    some really nice BBSes with it, but seemed like too much work to make it
    the way I would want it.

    I know... Too Much Information.... :/

    No way. Too much information is what you say to someone who gives graphic details on their um bathroom visits.

    Message networks are meant for chatting about things :) and I think I get
    the chatterbox award for the week according to the stats :P

    Actually finding out what people like and don't like about various bbs
    packages would surely be helpful for people like Nu, gOOrOO and me - and
    really anyone interested in developing BBSes.

    Right now, I am contemplating a new door that I can write on Virtual Pascal so I can make the game Door32.sys and "Maybe" for Windows, OS/2 an Linux... With Virtual Pascal, I can compile to all 3 (supposedly)...I
    hope I can..

    That would be cool!

    I've got it running here under Ubuntu. It's actually a pain to get going and keep going, in my opinion. I think it's because of the environments that need to be set...

    I posted a request earlier about running Doors under DOSemu on a Linux system under Synchronet...

    I submitted one of my games (Break the Web) to BBSLink for them to place on their system, but he is having a hard time getting it to run properly.

    I don't know why, it's a pretty straight-forward door... Do you run Doors on your Synchronet under Linux/DosEmu? Please let me know. If you do, and you don't mind, I can send you a copy of the door and see if you can get it
    running under your setup, maybe you can assist Mike Mearns at BBSLink ...

    Please let me know.

    Many Thanks

    Right now, I don't, as that system isn't online. I could play around with it and see if I can get any door to run with Dosemu. If I can, I will gladly try to set up your game.
