    Hi All,

    DOSBox-X

    I just noticed that someone posted info about DOSBox-X for their system. Here is the post:

    ConstructiveChaos BBS

    If you haven't checked out DOSBox-X yet, I highly recommend it. It has some very worthwhile features for running 16-bit DOS door games.

    I'm very pleased to say that Yankee Trader is now running with simultaneous multi-node play enabled here at ConChaos. This is thanks to DOSBox-X, a special version of #DOSBox that adds tons of nice features, two of which are essential for old door games: working socket-inheritance and file sharing/locking between multiple instances.
    I've documented my setup at: https://conchaos.synchro.net/yt_info.html#dosbox In addition, I've also been running a second YT game, with missiles disabled, to prevent players from spamming missiles to probe the galaxy.

    Ciao!

    DOSBox-X is much better than DOSBox.

    It even had support for Windows 3. So Windows applications would also run
    as X applications and it was even possible to use them from remote (just
    like normal X applications).

    Network transparency of X is just great (do you hear that, Wayland?)!

    Regards,
    Anna/X :)

    Desqview/X seemed pretty incredible, but it came a little too late for me. I was working on UNIX systems and would have liked X server support, but by
    the time I'd heard of it, Windows 3.1 and OS/2 had gotten settled in.

    I do a lot of work on Linux systems with X servers remotely now, I should
    play around with DV/X and see if I can get it to work in DOSBOX.

    On another note, does anyone know of a DOS SSH client that can talk to an SSHv2 server?

    Haven't tried it, but this sounds promising:
