Easiest way to setup doors is to create one batch file to handle all nodes,
like so (I use START.BAT):

--- BEGIN BATCHFILE ---
@echo off
rem Change to the door's directory to be ran.
s:
cd\va\doors\ffs

rem Run the door.
fishing.exe 2 s:\va\temp\n%1 /F

rem Change back to the BBS directory.
s:
cd\va
--- END BATCHFILE ---

I don't know if I tried dorinfox.def with this door since I always use door.sys
whenever possible.

In VConfig, you want to run the door like so:
s:\va\doors\ffs\start.bat %1

There wasn't really anything to do in ffscfg.exe. Netfoss doesn't care about
comport settings.

Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes.
