I looked into this more, and the door was giving an error value of 62 with the 31-line door.sys.  I tried adding 21 blank lines to that door.sys and manually running the door, and it didn't report that error anymore - it just said it was unable to initialize the COM port - maybe because I was running it manually within dosemu rather than running it as a user on my BBS.
