• Here's gw.sh

#!/bin/bash
set -x

# %1 is drop file
# %2 is socket handle                                                                                               

declare -r DROPFILE_PATH=$1
declare -r DROPFILE_NAME=$(basename ${DROPFILE_PATH})
declare -r BBS_TEMPDIR=$(dirname ${DROPFILE_PATH})
declare -r DOOR_DIR=/bbs/doors/gw
declare	-r SOCKET_HANDLE=$2

cd ${DOOR_DIR}
unix2dos ${DROPFILE_PATH}

# D: is door path
# T: is TEMP path
export DOSDRIVE_D=${DOOR_DIR}
export DOSDRIVE_T=${BBS_TEMPDIR}
socat -d -d FD:${SOCKET_HANDLE} EXEC:"dosemu -f /home/wwiv/.dosemurc gw.bat",pty

Notice the call to socat, that creates the PTY from the socket handle

• gw.bat

D:
cd\
war /w T:\chain.txt

• In $HOME/.dosemurc make sure you have the following. I couldn't get the ifdef u_serial to work, so I did this instead by hard coding it.

$_com1 = "virtual"

Here's the whole file:

$_sound = (0)
$_cpu = "80586"
$_hogthreshold = (10)
$_dpmi_base = (0x10000000)
$_external_char_set = "cp437"
$_internal_char_set = "cp437"
$_layout = "us"
$_com1 = "virtual"
