subject: Max/DOS in dosemu

Has anyone tried running the DOS version of Maximus, Squish, BNU and door
games inside of dosemu or dosbox?  I'm thinking this might be an
alternative to Max for linux which doesn't currently support DOS door, if
you want to run your Max bbs in linux.  Somehow inbound telnet connections
would have to look like a modem on COMx for the BBS, and multi-node might
not be possible?  Just a thought...

I was thinking about possibly using Synchronet, but don't know much about
it.  I love the addon programs I use for Maximus such as MaxAll for stats
and StarArea for choosing message/file areas.  I'm not sure if I could get
a Synchronet BBS looking as good as my Maximus one does now. However if it
was pretty darn close, ran on Linux or Solaris with DOS door support then
it might be worth it? 

I wish I knew C so that I could help add dosemu support to Maximus... I
would help if I could!

Thanks,
Ryan
