My idea was to strip this down to something where you have a "VM-wrapper" that automatically starts a number of Dosemu sessions, without all the admin load of Linux behind it. Kind of what CP/M-86 did: with Alt-Tab-F1 ... Alt-Tab-F4 you could switch between ten different sessions. Of course, if you have Linux, you can (should) use Linux for this. But if all you need is a VMM and not a completely new underlying OS (with issues no "average" DOS user would even start worrying about - think of different file systems, daemons, runlevels etc.), then some lean and mean "VM-wrapper" could be a nifty "add-on" to FreeDOS. > You can always add "start Dosemu" to your .bashrc to automatically > start Dos on login.

Well, perhaps my call was a bit of a quickshot - I immediately got reminded of Kermit for DOS (and Windows 3.x): http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/mskermit.html Personal experience from my side though: zero. Will try it out over the holidays - any avid FreeDOSers that have been using Kermit so far? Perhaps even connecting to Linux machines that use Dosemu as a shell? With a shared directory structure between all DOS clients on that machine? Plus Windows shares via Samba being included? Just to hear and read what's tried and tested (did I say that I love links to webpages? ;-)). > Eric.
