Greg, and anybody else who's interested, could you run dosemu with the -D+a -o (file) option and see whether you get an error re: /var/lock needing to be run suid root or if you get something else if your com ports won't work? First go to /var and do ls -dl lock and see what your permissions are for it. Personally, I think it's something in the dosemu code that is demanding suid root for /var/lock instead of the permissions in linux but this would help me to find out. TIA.
