I've never used that, and it's not really clear to me what that does.  The
Synchronet docs say that option should be set to "Yes" for programs
specifically written for WWIV or Synchronet BBS software, but I'm not sure why.

I have seen a program called Doorway, which lets you set up almost any
text-based DOS app as a BBS door.  I've used Doorway, but it seems to only work
with 16-bit DOS programs.
