INFO!
If not using NET2BBS to accept telnet calls, then you would need to figure out a way to find and pass the socket handle to NFU and NetFoss. That is currently beyond the scope of this HOW-TO.1. Download and install DoorParty Connector. During install, you'll see this window; enter your assigned SSH username and SSH password and change the RLogin Port to 9999.
2. Create a directory to hold TelnetDoor. I suggest something off the root directory, like C:\DP
3. Extract the TelnetDoor archive to a temporary directory. Head to the sub-directory \BIN\RELEASE and move everything in there to the C:\DP directory.
4. Rename TelnetDoor.exe to TDoor.exe
5. Create a batch file named DPARTY.BAT.
6. Open DPARTY.BAT and enter the following, changing the paths to reflect yours:
C: CD\NETFOSS NFU.EXE C:\TG\TEMP%1 "C:\DP\TDOOR.EXE -R -D^ -S127.0.0.1 -P9999 -Y[NEW]%1"
When your application is approved, the [NEW] tag is going to be specific to your system and will be assigned uniquely to your BBS; this will identify your BBS to the DoorParty server. MAKE SURE TO CHANGE IT WHEN YOUR TAG IS ASSIGNED!
7. Open a DOS window and head to your Telegard directory. Once there, type TELEGARD -N1 -L. Substitute an available node number with -N1 if node 1 is unavailable.
8. Once at the WFC screen, type T for System Manager, then select # for Menu Editor.
9. Now select M and pick the menu you'll be using to launch TDoor.exe. Once there, either modify an existing menu item by typing M and selecting the menu item, or hit I to Insert a new one. Hit M to modify the new item (if you created one).
10. Modify your long and short descriptions to reflect the new menu item, then modify your menu key to whichever you like. Select 4 and enter DG.
11. Now hit 5 and enter this, again changing the path to reflect where your Telegard directory is:
C:\<PATH TO DOORPARTY DIR>\DP.BAT ~UH
12. Hit 6 to assign an access level; whatever access level is reserved for validated users would be a good idea.
That's it, you're done! Test it out by logging in trying it out. If there's an issue connecting, double-check the instructions and your settings. If it all seems right, then either DoorParty is down, or more likely there might be other issues.
Check out the forums here to see if others have the same issue, or to ask for help.
