Background info

0.  CentOS 5.2 i386
1.  Clipper-based program.  No source.
2.  DOS program 100% CPU hog.  Tested various software tools, only official citrix dpakbd seems to work slightly, but user request improvement.

Question :
Is DOSEMU capable of practical usage in such manner as below.

(I have a working setup with 2 sessions, but unsure when it scale up)

1.  User login through ssh client on Windows XP
2.  Total 16 active DOSEMU/Clipper sessions on 1 server.

my previous results, I use processor affinity control to force DOSEMU to run on 1-core.  I found 4-instances dosemu/clipper on 1-core, program erratic behavior and frequent hangup.  less than 4 instances per core seems OK.

Thank you for your kind suggestion
