The shareware version of DOORWAY is included with your package so that you can access DOS from remote via your REMOTE.SYS file. Each node should have a REMOTE.SYS file in the node directory. If you look at this file, it should resemble the following:

set box=no 
doorway com1 /v:d^O /m:600 /g:on /o: /k:v0 /c:dos
set box=
c:
cd \pcb
board

If you are using a serial port other than COM1, you will need to change this value to reflect the serial port that you are using. If you are using a serial port other than COM1 or COM2, you will need to change the way that you specify the serial port for DOORWAY.

When using standard serial ports (normal serial cards but using a non-standard IRQ or base address), you need to tell DOORWAY what IRQ and base address you are using for each node. For example, if you have a node which uses COM3 with a base address of 3E8h and an IRQ of 5, you will enter

doorway port:03e8:5 ... ... ... ...

instead of

doorway com3 ... ... ... ...

NOTE: The 0 in front of the three digit hexadecimal base address is necessary on the DOORWAY command line because it is the expected syntax. If it is not, an error message informing you that the syntax for the PORT parameter is incorrect will be displayed.

If you are using the /M version of PCBoard, you should recall that third party applications should be using the FOSSIL interface to communicate with your card. For this to work, you need to enable FOSSIL support for all of your ports in DRVSETUP. Once you have insured you have setup your driver properly, simply change your DOORWAY command line to point to the proper port. For example, if the node you are configuring the REMOTE.SYS for uses port 2, enter the following:

doorway com2f

Notice that you enter the port number after the com and then add an f so DOORWAY knows this is a FOSSIL port rather than a standard serial port.

For further information about DOORWAY, refer to the manual which accompanies DOORWAY or to DOORWAY.ZIP in the directory where you installed PCBoard.
