When you run a door, the system (e.g. enig) produces a dropfile. These are really just oldschool files that describe the current user as a IPC mechanism (BBS -> door). 

Enig produces the type of dropfile you supply in your menu with the abracadabra module, and in the path you've setup (default is enig/drop/node#). The door will want to read this, so you'll have to copy/point to/whatever in your dosemuu setup so the door can see it
