What dosemu version is that?
1.2.2 have a serious bug which makes
some games to run incredibly fast.
If this is the case, try 1.3.1.
Also note that you have to use dos32a
to run Syndicate reliably. With dos4gw
it may crash.

Didn't have troubles with crashing, but never heard of dos32a before,  
thanks! However, Syndicate Wars is still running too fast, even with  
dosemu 1.3.1. What other things can I do?

By the way, the debian dosemu packages seem to have been orphaned at  
version 1.2.1. I took the changes made by the old maintainers and  
merged them into 1.3.1, thereby making a a 1.3.1 debian package. The  
dosemu-freedos package also needs to be updated so that it doesn't use  
comcom.com anymore, but I wasn't up to the task, so I just dropped a  
new command.com in the appropriate place.
