You would run an instance of Synchronet on Windows and an instance of Synchronet on Linux (as I posted before, but you didn't quote that part of the message). The 2 instances would share the same sbbs tree (e.g. using SMB/Samba, or possibly NFS). Users that want to play DOS door games would connect to the Windows instance at a different hostname, IP address, or port number than the Linux instance. Users that didn't care about DOS door games would connect to the Linux instance. Each instance would use a separate sbbs.ini file that specified the node range it would service:
wiki.synchro.net/config:ini_files#filenaming

All other configuration and data files would be shared between the 2 instaces.
