I'm interested in any hints on how to get OpenDOS to work smoothly
with dosemu (under Linux).  

My urgent problem at the moment is:

How do I get any upper memory blocks?  I have configured dosemu.conf
to make CC000-DFFFF RAM, but I cannot use the OpenDOS EMM386 or HIMEM
to access it, even with:

DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /Chipset=RAM /USE=CC00-DFFF

/Chipset=none gives the same problem - it complains that XMS is already
present; if I turn that off in dosemu.conf the error is "No supported
chip set present or no shadow RAM."  Using EMM386 with various GateA20
options doesn't work either.


Any other experience in running OpenDOS really nicely under Linux would
also be appreciated (especially relating to different startup options
under dosemu).
