    That.... is awesome. ;) I ran DV as long as I could until I decided to move over to linux around 2000. I still have a machine that runs it, if I turn it on, but it doesn't have the horsepower to do all of that.

    Linux is too easy. DOS you can fight all night. And still lose.

    Linux isn't quite so easy when you are trying to run DOS executables under
    it. ;)

    dosbox and dosemu2 do a good job. All my BBS doors run with dosemu2
    with no problem.

    Most of my stuff on my DOS BBS runs good now, but it took some trial and
    error to get it working. It wasn't plug and play by any means. Once it is running, it works with few problems.
