    individual door settings... any ideas?

    Just a follow up... I did get it working, in the sbbs.ini file, there was a NO_DOS line in the "options" line. I just removed that and the doors are all set! What's weird, I didn't see that corrosponding option in SCFG at all? I'mjust curious if that'll get overwritten or not.

    That option is in SCFG->Servers->Terminal Server->DOS Program Support.

    In SBBSCTRL, it's a checkbox on the Terminal Server Configuration dialog.

    No. The ctrl/sbbs.ini file is not, should not be touched during an upgrade.

    Sure. Now, that setting should not been automatically set or reset as part of the upgrade process, so something weird happened there. Your sbbs.ini file got overwritten? Did you look into how that happened?
