Holy $hit it works!!!! Man this is a game changer for me!

Previously here's what I had:
Ramdisk for MSDOS disks. Each MSDOS image had a packet driver, XFS (nfs dos
port) setup to mount an NFS share on my host machine. The NFS share had all
the game files on it.

Then with QEMU, I setup a bridge adapter to allow networking between the
QEMU-I386 instances and my host for sharing the NFS share.

Anytime a user would play TW2002, I would spin up a QEMU instance with a
clone of the MSDOS image to the ramdrive. Then start QEMU with stdio
redirected to the virtual serial port in the DOS instance. 

You could play multinode very easily this way. However, MSDOS had issues
running power management and would often rail the CPU even if I had POWER.EXE
running. FreeDOS didn't work for me as I couldn't get the XFS/NFS mounts to
work.

Anyways, DUDE thanks for the update on this. I tried Dosemu2 about a year or
more ago and it just broke miserably with DPMI.
