Hi,
Hi
Just as a thought on the side: there seem to be quite a number of people
that use Dosemu with FreeDOS on a Linux machine. Would it not be interesting
to write (or perhaps adapt from somewhere) a VMM for FreeDOS, essentially
allowing you to run multiple instances it?
???
Linux is a multitasking system - you can run DosEmu more than once.
Where is the problem?
That's obviously one big block of work though. What about putting together a
specialised Linux distribution instead, providing a bit more than just a
VMM to DOS - imagine using Samba to plug together DOS machines in a
network,
also no problem.
Mount your smbfs shares in Linux and use lredir or simply symbolic
links for DosEmu.
or setting up DOS terminal emulations (call it VMware for DOS if
you want) that would allow less powerfull machines to run programs on a
server etc.?
Also already implemented. ;-)
It seems, you don't know DosEmu at all, right?
As we seem to have Dosemu specialists here: how would one set up an account
under Linux so that it won't use bash as the shell but rather give you a DOS
terminal screen?
Needn't be a specialist for it - simply enter the path for DosEmu as
you shell.
And: do we actually have a working VT100 capable telnet
client for DOS somewhere?
I've tried already two of them: sshdos and ncsa telnet.
Both packages come with more additional stuff. So it's not a bad idea
to fetch both of them.
sshdos is, as the name sais, more concerned with ssh, but it also has a
normal telnet. It can emulate a fully linux compatible terminal.
But I think ncsa telnet is much better for me: unfortunately it can do
only vt102 (ie. black/white and function keys missing) But it can open
multiple sessions at once, it has a great scrollback buffer (nearly BSD
style), you can cut'n'paste text areas - even between different sessions.
It can do screenshots and logging. And it has a much easier and better
setup.
Furthermore it can be setup as telnet and ftp server!
(But I haven't tried that yet)
