Good morning!
Currently I have a specialized application program running under DOS. I
have acquired a project that requires the output of the program to be sent
over an Ethernet connection.
I think Linux may be a good choice for an OS to solve some security and
server issues (FTP server, Telnet server, SMTP server, HTTP server) and so
forth. Also, it seems to allow accessibility to a BSD 4.3 compliant TCP/IP
stack permitting (packet or streaming methods: TCP, UDP, IP, ICMP, and ARP),
so as to permit quite a bit of flexibility for building features.
I am interested in running this pre-existing DOS application under DOSemu.
What are the limitations of DOSemu? Is there a FAQ sheet besides a thorough
technical description of the DOSemu program interfacing to Linux *AND* the
system hardware? My DOS application program directly interfaces to hardware
system resources, comprising DMA, IO memory and interrupts through the PCI
bus.
Best Regards!
Bob Baird
