Dos emulation


Can anyone recommend an emulation program for running DOS apps on my Fedora4 box?

Thanks,

dosemu is the DOS emulation program for Linux. It's been around forever.

It doesn't look like the yum repositories carry it any more. But do a search on freshmeat for it and it'll point you to where an rpm is for dosemu. You can download and install that.

DOSbox used to be available for Fedora, I've used that in the past and it's pretty good. No idea if it would help with the serial port though.
