I was able to get Trade Wars 2002 (twgs) working using wine on my Linux machine using the Xternal doors.

I'm setting up my own SynchroNet BBS on Linux. I'm hoping to have everything set up in a few days. I'm hoping to bring it public in a week or two. I want to do some extensive testing for stability on my machine.

I had to use ?telgate localhost to get it to run. (had to setcap on my wine/wineserver/and twgs.exe)

Hope this helps someone else get it set up.

i would recommend running proxmox or something and then run a 32bit windows vm for your doors and your bbs. it's a lot less BS.
