Can't help you with the Linux/dosemu specifics.  Handing hot comm ports
around between binaries built for different target environments is
difficult on any platform.

But I think I can solve your Squish archive flavor issue.  ARC is the
default archiver flavor defined in the stock SQUISH.CFG.  You can change
the general default, as well as pick any specific flavor you'd like to
assign to any specific address.  Without some manual changes, ARC for all
is what you'll get.

COMPRESS.CFG basically tells Squish =how= to use flavors, SQUISH.CFG tells
it what flavors for whom, and ROUTE.CFG determines whether compression is
enabled/disabled.  These statements from my SQUISH.CFG make ZIP default,
but use ARJ for a few specific addresses:

Pack ARJ 382/95 102
DefaultPacker ZIP
