 Ni> I'm currently running my BBS using Synchronet on Linux. I have DOSEMU2 set up for DOS-based doors. I've set up my old
 Ni> RemoteAccess BBS setup from the 90s to run as a door, and it runs, but it seems it's not detecting the user's ANSI
 Ni> capabilities, and it's reverting to no ANSI. I'm curious if anyone has set up any DOS BBS software as a door in Linux with
 Ni> DOSEMU? I'm wondering how I can get it to detect whether the user has ANSI capabilities.

ok renegade works fine with "standard" for the IO. All i'm doing for that is running renegade -L which runs it locally.

the "menu" that you see at the start is all messaed up, but if you hit L for logon the main bbs itself runs fine..

I just snagged a copy of RA so will give that a try
