I have been tyring to setup dosemu 1.1.3 to run as suid.

There might be no problems
running dosemu suid-root
unless you are using 1.0.2
version, and you don't.
Pay attention to a startup
messages. If dosemu have no
root privs, you'll see this:
"Running unpriviledged in low feature mode"

system through the serial port. It works fine if I run it as root. But

But you don't need root for accessing serial, unless, again, you are using 1.0.2.
What it needs is an ability to create a lock files and access to /dev/ttySx. Check the necessary permissions.

I have been working on this for over a week now with no luck.

Seems strange. Are there any error messages on startup? Try also producing the log such as -D9+cs maybe that will help.
