-Created by Maarten Bekers, author of EleBBS, and James Coyle, author of Mystic BBS. This dropfile is able to handle TELNET connections created by newer BBS software (EleBBS, Mystic BBS, Synchronet, and PRoBBS) and certain old BBS applications (mostly OS/2 native: Maximus, Telegard, AdeptXBBS). +

 Used by v2.0 and later versions of QuickBBS and RemoteAccess,​ this allowed slightly more flexibility for up to 36 nodes. Node 1 through 9 would produce DORINFO1.DEF to DORINFO9.DEF,​ Node 10 produced DORINFO0.DEF,​ and Nodes 11 to 36 would use alphabetic designation from DORINFOA.DEF to DORINFOZ.DEF. The format is exactly the same as DORINFO1.DEF. Used by v2.0 and later versions of QuickBBS and RemoteAccess,​ this allowed slightly more flexibility for up to 36 nodes.
