Pay attention to a startup messages. If dosemu have no root privs, you'll see this: "Running unpriviledged in low feature mode" > system through the serial port. It works fine if I run it as root. But But you don't need root for accessing serial, unless, again, you are using 1.0.2. What it needs is an ability to create a lock files and access to /dev/ttySx. Check the necessary permissions. > I have been working on this for over a week now with no luck. Seems strange. Are there any error messages on startup? Try also producing the log such as -D9+cs maybe that will help.
