    Well you set up the door in dosbox, and in the dosbox.conf set the serial port to server:127.0.0.1 port:9999 (change 9999 with an unused port, different one for each door).

    You could conceivably have two nodes try to run the same door concurrently.

    No, dosbox doesn't have file locking, so running the same door twice at
    the same time is not supported. Even if someone didn't test first if the
    door was in use, the shim would fail as it can't bind the same port
    twice.
