Ok, I'll tell you what I did do. I read the wiki, and have not change the BindRetryCount/BindRetryDelay in sbbs.ini... nor add REUSEADDR=1 to strl/sockopts.ini....
I did scan the network with netstat, and altho I don't know how to read that output perfectly, I don't see anything on socket 22...
So, jesus paul I hope you're not ONLY wasting folks time... but.. do I need to change sbbs.ini or sockopts.ini as described above? Or am I missing something prior to that??
Ultimately, I'm trying to get DoorParty going using echickens dpc2 code. I think I have dpc2 setup
perfectly, but when I envoke the doorparty.js (echickens script to call up his dpc2 server...) it
returns a !ERROR -1 (110) connecting to server: dp.throwbackbbs.com ... so am I correct thinking
THATS because of the SSH error?

Not likely related to any SSH errors. DoorParty Connector (dpc2) only makes outbound SSH connections, it doesn't listen for SSH clients locally. It listens for RLOGIN connections on some port of your choosing; I think the default is 9999.
It sounds like you are unable to reach DoorParty from your BBS. Take dpc2, doorparty.js, and Synchronet out of the equation for a moment. Can you connect to dp.throwbackbbs.com:2022 from that server at all (using nc or telnet or whatever)?
2022... maybe i should make sure 2022 is entered in the config files correctly. I continue to grasp
more and more of whats going on with each suggestion - what next steps would you take? THANK YOU.

There should be a doorparty-connector.ini in the same directory as the doorparty-connector executable. The defaults should work for most people and are like so:
https://github.com/echicken/dpc2/blob/master/doorparty-connector.ini
I just made a change to doorparty.js, maybe grab the latest copy and try it:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/echicken/dpc2/master/synchronet/doorpart y.js
If you have a [doorparty] section in ctrl/modopts.ini, comment it out or delete it for now.
With all of that done, and with what you've described, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I just got doorpary info and went to the site and not sure the way it's presented, but it looks like there at least three way to install this thing, and each is more confising than the other.
I set up bbslink in no time, but I run SBBS and am using Manjaro linux and if you give a good walkthrough, that would be much appreciated.

I have got a grip on whats supposed to actually happen... on the
DoorParty wiki, its talking about windows,linux, different BBS
softwares; etc... thats why it seems like there's 3 ways to install. Basically, if you're on Synchronet all you need to do is use
echickens dpc2 files on his GitHub. If you goto the link he listed
first above, it says 'this is the old one, pls goto dpc2'...
DoorParty Connector (DPC2) runs as a server listening on the same
linux box as sbbs... you run that in the backgroud... then, echicken
has a doorparty.js file for synchronet - which you actually use in
the external progs of ./scfg.
The last link echicken posted up there is a new doorparty.js which
might help; he just updated it...
The doorparty-connector.ini was easy to edit. You have to apply for DoorParty, but the throwback bbs guy who runs it is quick and easy.
Last, if I'm still stuck the throwback sysop said he'll voice call
walk me thru it. I'll post whatever step made it work, when i address
it this week.
Setup of DoorParty Connector, along with companion script for
Synchronet, are explained here:
https://github.com/echicken/dpc2
If you get confused on a particular point, let me know and I'll see
if I can clarify.

Okay, So do I install:
1) The Installation part
2) The Linux part
3) The Synchronet part
