This door was created for those sysops that wish to "drop 2 DOS" from a remote location to check on their board, move files, etc. At first glance, it appears to be a dos shell. It's not. It's a "simulated" DOS environment with all of the normal DOS commands that you are used to already. Since this is not the usual "drop 2 dos" that is normally included in every BBS package, this has full capability as a door to rebound from a dropped carrier. You don't need any "watchdog" programs with this drop door. If you've ever selected drop 2 dos on your
sysop function screen of your BBS software, and your line was suddenly dropped, you know what a problem it is to have to go back to the location of your BBS and manually exit out of the shell. The only thing you cannot do with this door is run other programs.
For those sysops out there that feel a little paranoid about having the ability to "drop 2 dos" built into their BBS software, this door is the perfect choice. If you have the "drop 2 dos" ability turned on in your BBS package, and someone were to hack your sysop account and log on under your name, they could drop 2 dos and cause serious problems for you and your users. With this door, not only will noone ever know you have it, or even see it on the
door menu (just don't list it there), there is also included a startup password of your choice to get into this door. So for those of you out there that want a secure board, AND want to do remote "drop 2 dos" you have your answer.
