In Linux D3 is the same as DD except that it also creates door32.sys.  There is
more of a difference between the two on other platforms, but in Linux you
should be fine using either one for a DOOR.SYS door.

I am not sure that PimpWars itself is deleting the file as Mystic does delete
all of the drop files upon returning to the BBS, so that might be what
happens with the drop file.  Or not, but I thought I'd mention it! :)

This was my thoughts too considering you have other doors working and are
savvy enough to have done that.  I have no experience with QEMU on the Pi for
doors so I am not very useful here.

As a possible alternative:

I think there are still some 3rd party door servers that you can use a RLOGIN
gate from your Mystic BBS to connect with.  Basically you'd create an account
with their service, they give you a login and password, and then you setup an
outbound RLOGIN or SSH command to kick off the doors running on their servers.

Maybe Gryphon will see this (he wrote that guide) and have some additional
input...
