subject: Is this possible under Linux?

Hello Maurice.

Ah, I see what you are saying.  In that case I totally agree.  A native app
will always run better than one under emulation.  The way the conversation
was going, I had thought you were refering to the running of DOS doors.  My
thoughts were that a BBS without doors is rather boring.  As such (with the
most popular doors still being DOS,) I run them without qualms.  Mind you,
they are the only thing running under DOSEMU on that system.  And of course
if there is a Linux port of a door, that gets used.
