I'm currently looking for free door games for Maximus/2 3.01 w/ y2k fixes. DOS doors may be ok since I have SIO 1.60d installed and configured. I'm currently clueless to what good free door games there are.

As for non-free door games, I gave LORD 3.55 a spin but I get a "user dropped carrier" message when I tried to access it from telnet. Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? :(

Thanks to those who pointed out that the telnet door from citrus soft is already for free. I got the OS/2 version running fine. :)

I just saw Tiny's Hangman door a while ago, the archive contains DOS,
OS/2, Win32 and Linux binaries. Filename is thang21.zip. I know it
can be found at trmb.ca/files/local/bbs_doors/, as well as likely many
other places.

You're going to be hard-pressed to find OS/2-native versions of most doors anymore. The author of LORD has told me that he feels that OS/2 is a waste of time for him and he will not develop it (although the doorkit he's using has the capability do to so, I guess since he won't be having throngs of OS/2 sysops worshipping him like he does Win32 and Linux sysops, he won't do it...just my opinion of course...).

I, however, write OS/2-native doors and am a sysop. I only have a couple of doors that I've done that are OS/2-native. I am working on porting the doors to a doorkit that will do OS/2, BUT you have to use DOOR32.SYS for the dropfile. Thankfully, you chose a BBS package that can do just that. Instead of writing the com port, you have to write the com handle.

I used to run Maximus/2 years ago and I did write a DOOR32.SYS MECCA script. However, I no longer have that script. It's actually pretty easy to write the actual MECCA to do it-I do have my OS/2-native DOOR.SYS MECCA somewhere in backups. I could dig it up for you and we could continue this in netmail... or
since I'm the moderator, we could continue this in here <G> if no one else minded a little banter between us since it is, after all, related to OS/2-native BBSing. :)

I run Telegard/2 and wrote a script for it to use DOOR32.SYS doors. So I think
I could do that for you too.

Later,
Sean
