I switched my BBS over to Linux not too long ago, and to be fair, it seems there
are some DOS doors (in particular, TradeWars 2002) that don't run in DOSEMU 1.x
. I've heard it does run in DOSEMU 2, though I have yet to successfully get DOS
EMU 2 working with Synchronet.
However, regarding mro's statement about emulating stuff, I think even a 32-bit
Windows uses some kind of emulated environment anyway. Windows has its NTVDM, t
he Virtual DOS Machine, though I don't know all the details of how it works. I d
o know that 64-bit x86 processors are able to run 16-bit binaries when running i
n 32-bit mode though..
