I was looking for a self hosted door game server to install whatever I
wanted, opposed to remote rlogin/telnet servers to connect to for my
particular use case, but yeah adding a remote link to TWGS is far better
so you can interact with people and get more out of it for sure.

I got mine working just fine now, and for self hosted legacy dos doors,
it works, but long term, I will be added TWGS to my bbs
