Hey Sean!

Last time I ran dosemu was around 1997-ish with FreeDOS on a 486 with the
latest Slackware distribution of the time.  If I recall correctly there were
many issues with hardware especially an external serial modem I was using at
the time ... I believe it was a Motorola but I can't recall the model at the
moment.  The BBS was a DOS based Maximus.
 No doorgames but it did have Fidonet echoareas.

Browsing the dosemu git site I notice the latest update appears to be 2013. 
However it does compile using;

I am missing a few of the suggested dependencies for running dosemu but they
should be no problem to add if indeed it was desirable to do so. I think
FreeDOS is still available but I haven't checked in around a decade or so.  I
am surprised dosemu actually compiled on this machine.
 Go figure eh?

Life is good,
Maurice

... Don't cry for me I have vi.
