   Actually, im using something called Doornode to facilitate that..which uses   
   dosbox-x, its working well with ubuntu linux and ive gotten some games to run   
   which dont work under dosemu2 - specificaly Esterian Conquest, where i was   
   getting a Runtime Error 008 when running nightly maintence... and i found that   
   some other games are working well.. i.e tradwars 2002
