Are you using traditional dosemu or dosemu2? I have dosemu2 with no problems running darkness.

In my /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf I have the following:

$_fixed_term_size = "80x25"

This will fix the "Dos needs 25 lines..." error you're seeing. What's probably happening is dosemu is displaying thta line of text and waiting for someone to press enter, but it's not waiting on the virtual comport, so the keypresses from the user session aren't making it through.
