Have you seen Paul (a.k.a Avon)'s videos on YouTube yet?

I found those videos to be of enormous help, especially with the message
networks.

As for Door Games, I have all of mine installed locally.  I'm running Windows
10 (32 bit) to makes things easier with running older door games like LORD,
Planets, etc.  With older door games, you'll need to load a fossil driver
(http://pcmicro.com/netfoss/download.html) before loading the game.

The downside to this approach is door games won't work through SSH, only
through Telnet & RLogin.

Newer games like Darkness however don't require a fossil driver to work if
you're using the 32 bit version, making them a little easier to install.  With
Darkness, I didn't even need to create a batch file to switch it to the proper
directory first.

Here's my Mystic menu setup for LORD:

Command: D3
Data:
c:\mystic\netfoss\nf.bat /N%3 /H%0 c:\mystic\doors\lord\start.bat %3

nf.bat is included with NetFoss & start.bat is included with LORD.  I only
modified them to either add a %1 to line 3 with nf.bat or to switch it to the
proper path with start.bat.

And my Mystic menu setup for Darkness:

Command: D3
Data: c:\mystic\doors\dark\dark32.exe /N%3
