No reason to remove them. Use DOORMASTER (FREQable here as DM_58.ZIP) and
lock the baud at 19200 in the batch file as the user goes in the door. Neat
trick and it does work just fine!
At beginning of the batch file, first line, I have used DM /L=19200 and the
door will run fine.

 speak for the BBS you are posting from, since you are not the sysop of that
 BBS and have already tried to do the same thing with the Doorgame of
 Trade Wars, by which, you have told us all that your sysop was not into
 that doorgame, in which you have to keep in mind that you are a guest
 on that system and it is the sysop system to do with what he want to do
 with it and if he is not really into doorgames, you really don't have any
 grounds to stand as to how he runs his system or how any other sysop
 runs their system when it comes to running doorgames or playing them. :>
