DOORWAY mode is used primarily on BBS's that uses Marshall Dudley's doorway
program for running doorway games, drop to dos etc.
Before you enter the doorway, you put the program in doorway mode and you
have greater keyboard control whilst in the door than you would normally
have. I use the doorway program on my BBS here in Australia, it's great!

assistant: On 15 Feb 98  17:41:00, a Gin and Tonic at the Angler's Rest overheard
Gordon Preete say to Peter May:
While doorway mode games are one reason to have doorway mode, any program
you run through your computer with Telix which requires all of the
keystrokes (or even one of them) might require doorwar mode.  For instance,
I am a Remote Sysop of a TBBS (The Bread Board System) bulletin board.  One
of the facilities at this system permits me to drop out of the BBS program
into DOS and to the configuration programs just as if I was sitting there
at the console of the BBS machine.  But the configuration program requires
me to use a bunch of Alt-key commands--and as you know, Telix uses a lot of
Alt-key commands for its own control, too.  Doorway mode permits me to send
those Alt-key commands to the BBS computer (except for, of course, the
Alt-= which toggles me into and out of doorway mode).
If you need it, you need it.  If you don't need it, don't sweat it.

So basely your saying is Marshell Dudley is the program your used for

user: You are replying to Gordon Preete about "telix doorway mode".

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Gordon,
There seems to be no end to this thread concerning the use of
Marshall Dudleys DOORWAY PROGRAM.
Perhaps an example may help.
If I leave home and know I may want to have access to my computer via
telephone.... I can leave TELIX in QDHOST.  Then, should I
call my computer, log in and then select "DOORWAY", QDHOST shells to DOS and
the DOORWAY PROGRAM.  I then have remote control of my home computer as if I
were at its keyboard.  I would do this mainly to move some file I needed into
the download directory in order to receive it at whatever location I was
calling from.  When I have
finished my transaction I "EXIT" the shell and the home computer
returns to QDHOST, waiting for another call.
Of course this explanation assumes an understanding of the "HOST" mode.
The following is from the the FILE-ID of Doorway;
DOORWAY revision 2.22.  This program allows
both BBS's to add normal programs to BBS's
as DOORS, and provides a shareware
alternative to expensive commercial programs
for remote accessing of a home or office
computer.
              TriMark Engineering, Attn. Marshall Dudley
              406 Monitor Lane
              Knoxville, Tn. 37922
Second, you may call the support BBS, and go into the DOORWAY registration
door (DOOR  18), which will allow you to register your software on-line in
only a couple of minutes.  After verification, you will receive your
registration number while you wait.  Be sure and have either your VISA,
MASTERCARD, DISCOVER, or AMEX card handy before entering the door.
Lastly, you can call (voice) the DOORWAY ORDER LINE.  In the US you can call
1-800-OPN-DRWY (1-800-676- 3799). This number is strictly an order line. Tech
support cannot and will not be offered on this line.  Tech support is offered
at 615-966-3667.
A BBS *may* use this "shell out" to vector into a game or menu of
games....whatever.

assistant: NO. It's separate, you should be able to find a copy fairly

No they have to use doorway-mode, you have to run
"Marshall Dudleys Doorway program" when you start the game.
You don't always need "doorway" some programs will run over a
com-link without it. It just makes it possible for you to see what
the other user is doing and to help them, when in some other cases
this wouldn't have been possinble. DOORWAY turns regular programs
into "DOOR" programs.

Sounds like the XT maybe had an 8250 (or whatever that ancient UART

That in itself will solve or help solve your problem.

assistant: Hello All,
As of this message I am no longer the moderator of this echo. I
have passed the duties on to: Ben Carpenter
Step up Ben and make yourself know.
Good luck!
I will be shutting down my BBS and dropping out of FIDO. I will
still telnet in every once in a while to see how things are
going.
I am *NOT* shutting down MPH Software if you hear of someone that
needs some custom scripting and/or communications program.
Since my latest communications products do not include Telix
packaged with them I am having a sale to get rid of some of my
Telix inventory. I currently have 152 copies of "Telix lite" I
would like to sell at a GREAT price. Telix lite is basically the
same as Telix v2.5 for DOS (I think that's the version number).
It is a good stable older version. It is NOT upgradable to the
latest version. Salt scripts work just fine with it. My business
was built using this version. While they last I will sell them
for ONLY $22 a copy. Just send your order and check to:
MPH Software

I am changing my internet address soon so those that want to keep
in touch need to take note. My new address will soon be:

Gordon Preete say to Pete Granzeau:
Doorway mode is when you are on your computer, running something on the
computer you have called.  If I am on my computer, and a game I am playing
on the BBS requires me to give it an Alt-Z, I can't send that with Telix,
unless I am in doorway mode.  That's the whole point of doorway mode.  To
permit you to send keystrokes that would normally be control keys for
Telix, to whoever you have called.
If you have a friend who deletes things on other people's computers, I
would NEVER permit him to call my computer, for any reason.  Or within a
hundred yards of my computer, for that matter.
