Oh ok. This is the Linux version ...

Maybe these problems have got to do with the protocol code. Maybe they used ASM
and it wasn't portable to Linux. 

Try using an external protocol for Linux. Maybe there's CEXY for Linux. Mike
Elhert (the NetFoss guy) created an optimised external protocol (pcmicro.com).

Oh Ok. I dunno. Haven't looked at Squish yet.

But Maximus can generate other drop files that can be used in DOSEMU.

I wouldn't mind trying to get Maximus to create those binary drop files that
RemoteAccess / EleBBS uses ... then you can run RA-compatible doors in Maximus.
