Is there any way to find traditional DOOR games to my BBS?
reddit / bbs

*I apologize for my bad English above, I'm confused and frustrated.

I'm looking for a method of adding a DOOR/MUD game to my BBS; as a
newbie to the whole BBS scene of today, I came to ask Reddit. I have
tried various methods to no avail, and my frustration grew just a bit.
I've tried to run NETFOSS, as that was one of the first results to my
search, but my computer (Running Win10 x64) wasn't having any of it.
I'm currently trying to use MysticBBS as the host program, but if
there are any better programs to use (customization, ease of use, easy
setup, CLEAR COMPREHENSIVE INSTRUCTIONS AND HELP FILES, etc.), I would
appreciate the suggestions and assistance very much.

Www.synchro.net

I used the synchronet BBS software.  I'm a noobie myself and got
everything loaded just fine.  The trick was to buy an older machine to
run it on.

 Otherwise you can also try DOSbox, but its not a great solution.

I'm by no means great at BBS dev, but good luck.

This *might* help you a little:
https://github.com/NuSkooler/enigma-bbs/blob/master/docs/doors.md

It's for ENiGMA½ BBS soft, but you can apply to a few other systems as
well.

Also look at some of the door servers:
* DoorParty!: http://wiki.throwbackbbs.com/doku.php
* Exodus: https://oddnetwork.org/exodus/
* BBSLink: https://bbslink.net/

Thank you both for the assistance! I will definitely try using a VM
for experimentation, otherwise, I could just dual boot.

For an authentic experience, I recommend [using
Wildcat](https://secure.santronics.com/products/order/purchase.php),
which works with both telnet and with traditional dial-up methods.

It's a bit pricey at $249, but the quality is much better than
anything else I've seen.  Wildcat is fully compatible with Windows and
has phone support.

To give you an idea of what is involved in the setup process,
 have a look at the [installation
instructions](https://secure.santronics.com/Marketing/index.php).

I would love to see more Wildcat boards in action.  The only BBS I
currently use (the best by far, IMO) is Wildcat Castle -
 **telnet://bbs.wildcatcastle.com**.

i would say run a vm that is a 32bit OS like windows 7 32bit.
