Mystic BBS: ----------
Assuming c:\doormud is your DoorMUD directory, and c:\mystic is your Mystic directory, use a command line of:
c:\doormud\dmud32d.exe -n %3 -d c:\mystic\temp%3
Set the menu command type to "D3 Door with DOOR32.SYS".
Their own documentation doesn't work, so it can be confusing.
If you have doormud installed in c:\doormud then you would do:
Command: D3 (Execute Door32 Program)
Data: c:\doormud\dmud32d -n %N -d %Pdoor32.sys
This assumes you're using the 32-bit version.

Yup, 32Bit and I was able to take this information and make the other doors to work...

I'm actually having some challenges with this, too. I changed the external command from what was in the dmud manual to the above, and I get further along, but now I get an error "Unable to read door information file". My setup is going to be used as a
dial-up demo for a computer museum, so it's older -- 1.07.3 running on Windows 98SE with a Digi AccelPort board. The board itself works fine, and I can get Pimpwars running, but dmud is a challenge.
Thanks!
A few questions... what BBS software are you going to use?? If the BBS is not dialup ready what's your plan there...
Each BBS is slightly different. Mystic drops it's door files in the \mystic\temp?\ directory whereas Synchronet puts them into the \SBBS\Node?\ directory. The question mark "?"is the node number...
What's the software, DOS Windows or Linux...?? Expand a little

I used Synchronet's SEXPOTS to add dialup support to my Mystic board on Win32.
All SEXPOTS does is answer the modem and then send that to Telnet. Over VoIP phone lines I was only able to get a 19,200 to 38,400 baud connection, but it worked quite well. I don't have it setup anymore, because... why?
Setup was quite easy, just edit the sexpots.ini file & then run SEXPOTS.EXE -com 4 -baud 38400. (At least that's what I ran for my USB modem on my voip line, YMMV).

I have quoted above some of the information needed. I quoted what g00r00
told me to used to get the door running. I don't know how you're doing it
but the above can be broken down in to 2 pieces to better understand how to get the door to work.... 1st, c:\doormud\dmud32d.exe , points where the exe file to get the door working... 2nd, -n %N -d %Pdoor32.sys... is the info needed to tell the door where the door info files are...
-n %N tells the program what node you are on.... current mystic BBSes use that, prior version and or other BBSes my use something else. The next is -d %Pdoor32.sys .... this is the argument that points to the directory where your door files are... current versions of Mystic would take that %P and translate that as \mystic\temp1 or \mystic\temp2 or \mystic\temp3... and so on... depending on the node you are on. The ending to that statement door32.sys is the door info file.
Lets just say that your software doesn't use the %P argument you can execute the door like this...
c:\doormud\dmud32d -n %N -d \mystic\temp%N\door32.sys
The error you're getting sounds like the door isn't able to find the door info files .... The -d \mystic\temp%N\door32.sys part...

A suggestion I would have made... I would have went with a current version of
Mystic and used sexpots myself.... There are some fellow SysOps trying to get their BBSes going on XT machines, no HDD of 5.25 floppies.

In Synchronet, it's configurable (per door) where to place the drop file(s).
Hi! Rich,
On 10/01/2020 04:11 PM, you wrote to IB Joe:
I tried two different variations on the Data string. The 1.07.3 manual only lists four variables:
%0=comm port handle
%1=comm port
%2=baud rate
%3=node
On that door, I tried both the "c" (comm port) and "n" (node) parameters and all I got was "No method of accessing the serial port". The Digi AccelPort starts at COM5 (COM5-12 actually).
So, I'm giving up on the 1.07 version and trying 1.12.rc46 with sexpots. Will report back on that.
I would recommend that you try %0 /without/ referring to %1. That's what I did
with Radius w/32 calling Mystic 1.07.3, for a decade(?). Good luck.
Cheers,
Paul.
