I am curious what is serving that network drive?

I have been fantasizing about a similar configuration using ProBoard as
the BBS software.

Someone mentioned EtherDFS.  Reading the protocol documentation, i see it
has support for locking regions within a file.

Thanks for your notes about DOSBox-X.  I will be interested to see those
patches when you publish them.
