 G#> It actually does. :-)
 G#> Things are a bit rough around the edges, but there are a couple
 G#> successful systems out there (I have one, node @91, but it's an
 G#> internal system that dials out to @90; it's not
 G#> internet-accessible).  The challenge is building from source.

That's fantastic...but I would want a piece of software like
Mystic/Synchornet which could run a complete system.

 G#> I would LOVE to nail down DOS emulation for DOORS, but that is
 G#> proving to be a real bear lately.  qemu is so far the closest
 G#> I've been able to get (and where I've been focusing because it
 G#> would work on ARM; dosemu needs x86).

There is a couple of ways to do this...such as DoorParty (which I use & will
use under RPi). It's not the same as running the doors locally & under
DOS...but it's a way to give my users a way to play games & such. If they
would've had something like this when I was running "The IMF" in the early
90's...would've been a way to give my users then more options.
