I was never able to get DOS doors running w/Dosemu on Enigma... Spent a lot
of time trying (had some back and forth on github with NS around the
issue--but I just couldn't crack it). 

Qemu ended up working reasonably well, using the github docs, but I found it a
beast to setup initially, very slow to load, and I could only get it working
on a linux 64 VM (QEMU wouldn't install on my pi4). Plus the caveat from the
docs: "Multiple instances of a particular door/OS image should not be run at
once!" All that sort of made it a deal-breaker...

With Enigma, I ended up leveraging external game servers, even set up my own
game server using Synchronet (which was pretty easy and seamless, BTW, and
door installation was a snap).

Mystic does a lot of things right, including handling doors...

LMK if you find a solution w/Enigma? It's such a great piece of software.
