Hello.

There was a request that I post the details of how to work DOSEMU through an inetd connection. I couldn't get my old method to work
with the latest version, so I was trying the stable version, which
I was sure had worked at soem point.

OK, I see.
You can't get that working on the recent dosemu because that was explicitly prohibited in the parser.
But please have a look into a parser.y:1314 of dosemu 1.0.2. strcpy(sptr->dev, ttyname(0)) is there and should segfault when the FD 0 is referring not to a tty and the virtual modem is attempted to be used on it.

In the meantime, I really would like to know if anyone gets 1.0.2.1 to work with the latest kernel, and the precise kernel version which broke it would be helpful.

I've heard about a major changes done in 2.4 kernels recently, mostly VM-related. It would be good to figure out what was broken, but perhaps the things are just not settled down yet after that changes.
