Three major questions.
Quoted 4 lines
I am running dosemu 1.1.5.6 and would like to see if it is possible.
1) To get rid splash screen "Now type ENTER to start DOSEMU" and automatically start dosemu without hitting a key.
I will second this request.....
-quiet should take you straight to the prompt
Quoted 2 lines
2) Running a dos program directly from the linux prompt and exiting back into linux after it is done.
You can do this with a simple bash script if we can take care of problem number 1 above and 4 below.

3) To be able to turn a comport into a telnet port. This would be perfect for BBS software if I could turn the com ports into telnet ports. For example. If I connect to my box on port (for example) 5000, Dosemu would redirect that as com1, port 5001 would be com2, etc. Any chance of this?
This would be more useful if the virtual com ports could have a switch to turn on the virtual fossil driver/interface as well.
There are ways around this though....
I have a telnetable PCBoard running fine under 1.1.5.6 but it took a lot of " work around ".
4)
Which brings me to my own issue with dosemu the -U switch
dosemu -U pipein:pipeout does not work.
Dosemu will take "whatever" command you send to pipein and
pushes 'Command "whatever" not found' out pipeout.
If anyone has ever gotten pipein to work correctly, please provide the version number of the functional dosemu and any undocumented steps required to make it work.

Why not just run fossil.com in your autoexec.bat?

I wonder why it's not working for you two. dosemu and xdosemu create files ~/.dosemu/stamp-[x]dosemu the first time which prevent the splash message being shown for all subsequent DOSEMU runs. At least, they do for me. Have a look at which dosemu. There should be lines such as if [ -z "$QUIET" -a ! -f $HOME/.dosemu/stamp-xdosemu ]; then

dosemu [-E] dos-command; see "man dosemu.bin" or the example in "man dosemu". Alternatively use -input

-U is a programmer's tool; not so much a user's tool
" This option should therefor only used by frontends (such as kdos), which first create the proper named pipes and then launch DOSEMU." "A tiny control terminal, which can serve as example, is the supplied dosctrl programm."
Well kdos (KDE DOSEMU) never really became something I guess, but dosctrl
dosctrl is in src/tools/periph
so this works
$ cd src/tools/periph
$ mkfifo fdin fdout
$ xdosemu -Ufdin:fdout &
$ ./dosctrl fdin fdout

Hmmm!!!!
I also get that screen reminding me how i can have home as d: and telling me to hit enter for dosemu or control-c to cancel.
