LOCKING / Server + Clients required
 ===================================

I have a big DOS app that I want to run in multiple DOSEMU sessions
all on the one linux box with data shared between the sessions just like
they were all on separate client machines accessing the data on a real
server machine. 

 To use SAMBA as the server:
 ---------------------------
 + It can be on the same machine.

 + It is free.

 - "Microsoft Network Client V3 for MSDOS" works fine but requires a
   physical network card.  It doesn't support packet drivers.
   Since DOSEMU emulates a packet driver, rather than a real network
   card, what is required to get this to work is a shim that looks
   like a network card driver to the MS code, but is actually an
   interface to the (emulated) packet driver.  If only DOSEMU emulated
   an NE2000 card or similar, all this would be so much easier.

Any Ideas?  Has anyone done this?

Steve.
