I think I found it:

there is a configuration file /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf

The Default is:

##############################################################################
## Serial port settings

# use e.g. "/dev/mouse", "/dev/ttyS0", "/dev/ttyS1", ...
# Note: all "/dev/ttyXX" may be suffixed by the IRQ
# used (instead of the default one), such as "/dev/ttyS2 irq 5"
# or "/dev/ttyS3 irq 9". Default: ""

# $_com1 = ""
# $_com2 = ""
# $_com3 = ""
# $_com4 = ""

# tty lock directory. Empty string "" means no tty locks.
# default: "/var/lock"

# $_ttylocks = "/var/lock"

##############################################################################

It needs to be:

##############################################################################
## Serial port settings

# use e.g. "/dev/mouse", "/dev/ttyS0", "/dev/ttyS1", ...
# Note: all "/dev/ttyXX" may be suffixed by the IRQ
# used (instead of the default one), such as "/dev/ttyS2 irq 5"
# or "/dev/ttyS3 irq 9". Default: ""

# $_com1 = "/dev/ttyS0"
# $_com2 = "/dev/ttyS1"
# $_com3 = ""
# $_com4 = ""

# tty lock directory. Empty string "" means no tty locks.
# default: "/var/lock"

$_ttylocks = "/var/lock"

##############################################################################

I used sudo gedit to edit the file because you have to be root.

And I am still sometimes getting a double key for every key I press when
in dosemu. You have to close the linux terminal and start a new one.


I just tested it and it did not work.

Grrrr.
