Door Specific Instructions
When you try to run Nuke Wars, you may get an error on your BBS machine saying
that COM3 cannot be opened. In order to resolve that, make a copy of
sbbsexec.ini from Synchronet's exec directory to your Nuke Wars directory,
then edit sbbsexec.ini in your Nuke Wars directory with a text editor. Change
the ComPort setting (in the [UART] section) to specify 3:

[UART]
ComPort=3
