subject: Max/DOS & Linux dosemu?

Has anyone here tried to run Maximus/DOS under the DOS emulator
of Linux?

I'm extremely reluctant to abandon Maximus, but I foresee the
need at some point to be able to offer a little more in terms of
connectivity than what Max currently features.  Since I perceive
it to be extremely unlikely that Max will be ported to Linux, it
occurred to me that if Max could successfully be run with
dosemu, then that would facilitate a little more orderly
transition to something that is native Linux.

In all candor, I can't yet envision exactly how a Max/dosemu
arrangement would be set up.  (And arguably, this issue is
probably not even topical here.)  However, there is a growing
concern that if we are not more accomodative of those who would
otherwise gravitate toward the Internet scene, then BBSing as we
know it will essentially flatline.  (Witness the megabytes of
lament and nostalgia on this topic in , for
example.)

Any leads will be much appreciated - either here or at the
address in my tagline (but no UCE, please).

TIA,
Lee_K
