[plug] Dosemu

[Brad Campbell]

G'day all
Any Dosemu experts out there?

I'm just migrating a company's dos-based accounting package
to linux.
They used to run localy but off a shared drive, this gets a 
little slow when processing databases of over 60mb on a 
10BaseT network, so I'm running everything centralised with
dosemu.
The users shells are set to /usr/bin/dos
and when they log in they go straight into dos and a menuing
system, the printer ports are run thru lpr to a remote linux
printer server. Works like a charm..
anyway, my question is about file locking. I'm assuming that 
the multiple dos sessions will play nicely because they are
accessing data on an ext2 partition and the FS will lock them
as it would lock normal programs trying to write to the same
file.. Is this the case ?

And as an aside, anyone know of a good telnet program for
Win95 that supports the full PC Character set ? Lines and
all that ?. I have an early version of Netterm, but it does
not have the right fonts..
