    Hey friends,

    I like the doorgame Space Quest 2112 and want to host it on my BBS. However, I run a linux BBS and my games operate via dosemu2.

    I have the game set up and running but there's an interesting problem. In the game, once you 'B'oard your ship, it doesn't recognize any keypresses for an indeterminate period of time. I have to spam the keys for a long time before it
    starts interacting in the game. Has anyone else seen or dealt with this?

    Alternatively, I'd love to just use the SQ2112 32 bit server, but I find that after each game, it throws an error trying to bind to the port. Any ideas here?

    Thanks!

    you should talk to xbit about this doorgame. he knows a lot about it and he's no stranger to linux.

    Yeah, that's good advice. For the record I did get it to work but you have to sit through the DOS bootup screen, which is a bit lame, but hey, it works *shrug*
