Yeah, I'm not sure.  I was thinking that since DOS doors can run in dosemu in Linux, hopefully there would be a way to get Win32 doors running in Linux somehow..

Yesterday I tried running Ambroshia: Test of Time with Wine, and I found that it actually runs by itself in Wine and appears to work okay.  Then I configured my BBS to use Wine to run the door, but when I logged in and tried to run it, my terminal session appeared to freeze.  I didn't see the door appear on my BBS either.  I had to close my terminal app and kill the wine process (apparently wine did run).
