subject: Mystic Win32 and DOSBox

Anyone have any luck getting DOSBox to run correctly with old text adventure
DOS games (Zork I for example) for Mystic Win32? 

I actually got it working with DoorWay, and was super stoked until I thought
to myself, "Oh wait, these games have a save feature, someone could really
mess things up here..." and scrapped it. So tried DOSBox, and it reads the IP
and passes the socket correctly, accepts everything, but it just hangs on the
BBS user's end. Nothing's getting passed to them.

My setup is the aforementioned version of Mystic, using NetFOSS and various
iterations of both DoorWay and DOSBox with NetFOSS, or just NetFOSS and
DOSBox. This is kicking my ass and I hate being frustrated with stuff like
this.
