cooper Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Well, you can telnet into your server (baaaaaaad idea. Use ssh). If you can then run dosemu from that command prompt and get a game going, then yes, I don't see why it would be a problem. On the other hand, it would have to be a text-based game for obvious reasons. So the question piqued my interest and I searched around a bit. And it looks like I need to retract the above. All DOS emulators for Linux that I found were X programs. So you can telnet in, get a prompt, start a program, but that program will want to open a new window, and they you're SOL. There might be alternatives, but maybe you should elaborate a bit more on what you're trying to accomplish and why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygwin + X client + ssh + port tunneling ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
