Hello all!
new Synchronet sysop here. Just getting back into running a BBS.
I'm thinking of running Synchronet in Linux and using DOSEMU to run old DOS doors like LORD, TW2002, BRE, etc.
I looked at the Synchronet wiki for setting up doors in Linux, but it's a bit confusing.
Anybody successfully set up doors in Linux (RH, Ubuntu, etc.) willing to share how they did it, (example: LoRD) would be appreciated. Like a screen shot of the SCFG and maybe any batch files used.
And yes, a lot of Synchronet sysops have done so successfully. There's usualy nothing special for the configuration (same for Linux/DOSEMU or Windows) and you could even use the automated external program setup scripts/.ini files included with Synchronet to do so.
Firstly, a JavaScript port of LORD is included with Synchronet - no DOSEMU needed for that one.

Does the JS LORD support all the LORD add-ons that were made for the original LORD?

Duh.
Some people like playing LORD 2 and having a completely data-compatible port to JavaScript is quite an accomplishment.
