Look, you asked a question and I answered it truthfully. But I'll repeat myself
and clarify. GameServ runs doors, either via netfos (16bit) or via door32.sys
(32bit).  TWGS simply **does not support either of these methods**, it is not a
door and does not function like a door.  TWGS is a telnet/rlogin server.  The
only way to get it to run "like a door" from a BBS platform is if your platform
supports outbound rlogin.  If people have gotten it to run from GameSrv, it
means they either found or wrote an outbound rlogin door for door32.sys.  

GameSrv's docs look perfectly complete to me... it runs doors, that's what's
it's supposed to do; TWGS isn't a door, it's no fault of GameSrv.
