No, those doors require a FOSSIL driver to function on Synchronet v3 (see the
FAQ ftp://vert.synchro.net/Synchronet/v3cfgfaq.txt for details).
This is the case with most Telnet BBS packages. Those doors will run fine
without a FOSSIL driver on a dial-up BBS (e.g. Synchronet v2), however, so if
your Wildcat BBS is dial-up, that would explain why they work without a FOSSIL
driver.
