Ah, stupid of me :d
I had forgot to copy the new version of the config file to /etc/dosemu, 
so I hadn't seem the new comments.
I've now got it working with himem.sys on my main comp. (My laptop was 
still using the Dosemu builtin stuff.)
I've still got one question though. With the default config, there are 
very long delays in the sound. Changing $_oss_max_frags = (0x20) to 
(0x5) seems to fix this. I have this on both my workstation and my 
laptop. Is this because of a crappy driver/audiochip? Is there any 
reason the default isn't set lower?
Thanks again,
Julius
