   I'm running my BBS in Linux and I also use dosemu2.  I've found very few DOS   
   door games that don't work well in dosemu2; it was just a few trivia games   
   that were taking up a lot of CPU time for some reason and appeared slow or   
   almost frozen.  I ended up replacing those with something different.    
   Otherwise I haven't had much trouble with dosemu2.  I didn't know dosbox-x   
   could be used for this purpose (I didn't know dosbox-x could communicate with   
   Synchronet to send output to the user).
