My logic on this would be that the virual flag would be there to simply
accomodate doors or a bbs program in a way that it will simply relay the
output from the virtual comport to stdout and any user interaction to
stdin would be redirected to the virtual comport thus making the door do
whatever it does? So are you essentially saying that I need to have
something talking through the comport only with that flag? I suppose that
makes sense... ...I guess... :) So basically if I want to use the DOSEMU
for other reasons I just need to have a separate config file...
Did I just answer my question? :)
