What about copying source code from other open source linux BBS software
such as Synchronet? (Actually, I don't now if it is open source or not). 
They have added something to make DOS doors work under DOSEMU.  Even if the
code can't be copied exactly, there will be useful information in the
source.

About DOSEMU not working on newer linux kernels, I can't comment as I have
not used it.  I've heard of something called DOSBOX which might be newer?

I like running on newer kernels too.


Thanks,
Ryan
