    Been trying to get door games up using BBSlink with out any luck. Followed
    the instructions from BBSlink but no luck. I'm running Windows 7 32 bit. Do I need to use Netfoss to use BBSlink?

    No, you don't need to use a fossil driver with BBSLink.

    You'll want to make sure you have .NET 2.0 installed (https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=22808) so that the executable is able to run.

    If you have BBSLink unziped into C:\mystic\bbslink it may also be helpful to add:

    C:
    CD \mystic\bbslink

    Right under the first line (@echo off) of the bbslink.bat file so that it switches to that directory. That way the .exe can find the included .dll file.

    After that, as long as you have the menu entry setup as shown here:

    http://bbslink.net/sysop/mystic.php

    It "should" just work.

    No, the guys running BBSLink might need a fossil to run the doors but you don't need it on your end.

    Woohoo! It worked. Thank You! I don't believe that was in the instruction.
    that BBSlink included. Being new to all this the learning curve is high.
