    From niter3@21:1/199 to All on Fri Oct 9 19:55:34 2020
    Hey guys! Long time no chat... Been doing some work on my BBS lately and
    moved over to Ubuntu 20.04 64bit.

    I managed to get dosemu compiled and installed.

    Everything seems to be working, the script is calling my bbs like normal. However, I notice it just freezes.

    I've replicated the same behaviour under the console. The door starts and
    just freeze with a partial ansi of the door game.

    In order to exit, I have to kill the process.

    Any clues?

    Lastly, I've also updated to the latest Mystic. I was a couple releases
    behind.

    Nice. I use Ubuntu 20.04 64bit as well. Works a treat :)

    I'd advise you to get rid of dosemu (also, why compile? Why not install from apt?) and replace it with dosemu2. Dosemu2 uses comcom32 enabling you to run DPMI applications. Essentially, for best compatibility with /all/ games, use Dosemu2! And you should be able to install it with apt if you add the correct sources to your sources.list

    There's a bit of nuance about how to configure it but this is my suggestion.

    I'm soon to walk this path also, thanks for sharing this info. It's very helpful.
