Hi @all,

I wanted to try some DOS doors on my system, what I did to get DOSEMU working on the PI, was to follow a tutorial from synchronet and it actually worked, I downloaded and extracted drive_c's contents from the ZIP referenced on that tutorial to my .dosemu/drive_c folder becaus efor some reason mine was empty, no autoexec.bat or anything.

I ended up with various drive letters d:, e: and f: with varipus contents and a default autoexec.bat which I editted to mimic what unix.install.txt file from Mystic docs points out and that is where things didn't exactly pan out.
<snip>
@echo off
prompt $p$g
path=z:\bin;z:\dosemu
lredir d: linux\fs\mystic\
d:
cd \doors
bnu
unix -e
<snip>

lredir doesn't work it reports access denied and to add the needed path to $_lredir_paths, so I ended up using this from the command line dosemu -d /home/sbbs/mystic and it mapped Mystic's home to G: drive.

So that part was fixed, now another issue is bnu, when I issue that commando I get: a port available 0 ports active

BNU: No COM ports found - driver not loaded

That may indicate that the COM port driver is not loaded, yes but hwere is the the driver and what's its name?.

Finally the command unix -e is invalid too, at least on this DOSEMU2 version, it reports that -e is not a valid switch my vrsion has

-d set unix work dir to dir
-w get current work dir.

So to wrap up, my questions are, has anyone gotten DOSEMU2 to play along with Mystic? and if so is there a guide/url/txt anyone could refer me to?.

Thank you

Search for "DOS BBS Under LINUX" I think or variations of that and you'll
find a page showing full instructions on how to set up dosemu2.
