Subj : Max/DOS in dosemu

Has anyone tried running the DOS version of Maximus, Squish, BNU and door games 
inside of dosemu or dosbox?  I'm thinking this might be an alternative to Max 
for linux which doesn't currently support DOS door, if you want to run your Max 
bbs in linux.  Somehow inbound telnet connections would have to look like a 
modem on COMx for the BBS, and multi-node might not be possible?  Just a 
thought...

I was thinking about possibly using Synchronet, but don't know much about it.  
I love the addon programs I use for Maximus such as MaxAll for stats and 
StarArea for choosing message/file areas.  I'm not sure if I could get a 
Synchronet BBS looking as good as my Maximus one does now. However if it was 
pretty darn close, ran on Linux or Solaris with DOS door support then it might 
be worth it? 

I wish I knew C so that I could help add dosemu support to Maximus... I would 
help if I could!

Thanks,
Ryan
