   The only problem with dosbox is that it cannot be run simulataneously. So any   
   multinode door games will not work as they should. This is why most people   
   involved with BBSing and running doors in a dos emulator don't recommend   
   dosbox.   
      
   Unfortunately dosemu is only available for linux, but works perfectly for   
   multinode use, and just as well.. works great on 32bit and 64bit linux   
   distrobutions.   
      
   The only perfectly working answer for Windows users interested in running   
   DOS door games is to run a 32bit version of Windows.
