Running dosemu directly from Linux server is fine? What is Your dosemu.conf file? I never met with something of that kind. From my experience, DOS applications often behaves weirdly when setting $_dosmem >640, but this usualy become evident in every session, not only in second+. I mostly access remote dosemu from other Linux box via "ssh -X" and thus I'm using xdosemu, but "dosemu -t" works for me too (just tested on Fedora 15 with dosemu i686 svn.2053 in vm86 mode) - only one thing seems interesting for me: "mode" command shows (in dependence on accessing PC window size) values as: C:\>mode *** PRINTER PORT 1 STATUS *** Port status: [ ] *** PRINTER PORT 2 STATUS *** Port status: [ ] *** PRINTER PORT 3 STATUS *** Port status: [ ] *** VIRTUAL PRINTER PORT 4 INFORMATION *** Free for redirection to serial ports. *** CONSOLE STATUS *** CON codepage support (FreeDOS DISPLAY) not loaded. Screen size: 110 columns, 39 rows, mode 3, font height 16. Switchar is '/'. Numlock is off. Scrolllock is off. Capslock is off. (110 columns and/or 39 rows are non-standard in DOS world, i'm not sure when it cannot break some dos apps). (and second thing, interesting for me, is line "*** VIRTUAL PRINTER ..". Isn't there in FreeDOS some support for virtual printers which is missing in DOSEMU? Printing to more than 3 (virtual) printers is important for me - know somebody about status in FreeDOS and dosemu?) What Your ~/.dosemu/boot.log ? Tried You compare this between first and second session? Eventually with fiddling with $_debug setting in "/etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf".
