Dropfiles are so basic, and many of the values don't make sense any longer (or are dummy values & ignored anyway), so I guess I don't see this as a blocker. Connection timeouts are generally handled by the BBS: If the connection drops, the board drops the door PID. 

Time left... I guess. I'm not sure who's actually using that any longer. Perhaps on older systems on original hardware where resources are very limited.
