   Yes, I am familiar with both products.  But you are defeating the   
   purpose aren't you?  The last OS that could do what you are doing is   
   Win98 and it had some severe problems with Slbbs unless you ran the 16   
   bit version.  It might work that way.  But the doors are not really   
   being controlled by Slbbs though.  They are still being controlled by   
   Gamesrv which understands Netfoss.  SL and can't communicate with it.   
   Using Gamesrv is a workaround that might work even with the more   
   recent versions as long as you use the 16 bit.  But that sort of   
   defeats the purpose of the 32 bit Searchlight.  But since the 16 bit   
   was pretty well finished and the 32 bit was NEVER finished, that might   
   be an improvement overall.   
      
   As the saying goes, though, "As long as it works".
