   You obviously don't understand how DOSEMU interacts with a BBS to   
   provide DOS emulation then.   
      
      
      
   THis is my dosemu.conf for running locallly on linux.   
      
   $_cpu = "80586"   
   $_cpu_emu = "fullsim"   
   $_floppy_a = ""   
   $_cdrom = ""   
   $_xms = (8192)   
   $_ems = (2048)   
   $_ems_frame = (0xe000)   
   $_external_char_set = "cp437"   
   $_internal_char_set = "cp437"   
   $_term_updfreq = (8)   
   $_layout = "us"   
   $_rawkeyboard = (auto)   
   $_mouse_internal = (on)   
   $_mouse_dev = ""   
   $_joy_device = ""   
   $_lpt1 = ""   
   $_lp2 = ""   
   $_speaker = ""   
   $_sound = (off)   
   $_sb_dsp = ""   
   $_hdimage = "+0 -2 /sbbs/ctrl /sbbs/data /sbbs/exec +1"   
   $_rdtsc = (on)   
   $_cpuspeed = (0)   
   $_hogthreshold = (5)   
      
      
      
   If you're not using synchronet you can remove the $_hdimage line.   
      
      
   Then to invoke it:   
      
   /usr/bin/env HOME=/sbbs/ctrl /usr/bin/dosemu -d /sbbs/node1/ -d   
   /sbbs/xtrn -d /sbbs/ctrl/ -d /sbbs/data/ -d /sbbs/exec/ -d /sbbs/xtrn   
   -f/sbbs/ctrl/dosemu-local.conf   
      
   -d is just a list of directories, you can add your own or remove as   
   necessary and -f points to where you saved the config file.   
      
   You should update doemu2 to a version built on or after 17th July if   
   there is one for Windows. I know there was some issues with the linux   
   version.
