With my Mystic and WWIV BBS's I chose a higher port number for telnet and also used the "[ESC]" fake mailer; both collectively seem to help.  I've done the same with a higher port number for my Synchronet BBS and it seems to be working on and so far without needing the fake mailer prompt, however I would like to eventually add it for other reasons.  When I used the standard port 23 I got attacked by scanners so frequently it would slow my telnet connection down for users / me.

I'll look into what you've done and see if I can't replicate it later.  For now I'm beating my head against a wall trying to get DOSEMU2 working, I keep getting a file not found error ..  I love tinkering with new BBS stuff, especially Synchronet, but hate messing with initial door setups.

Did you write yours in .js as an add to login.js?
