Here's a how-to I wrote on how to get it done back in 2014. I had it working
in Mystic first before I ported it over to Synchronet for DoorParty. It should

Of course, you can always just sign up for DoorParty and connect to the DOS
adventure games I have setup already. Each user gets their own sandboxed save
game. ;)
