Neither Ubuntu Software nor Synaptic Package Manager list that.

I've made the suggested tweaks.
The DOSBox config file has these sections:
* sdl;
* dosbox;
* render;
* cpu;
* mixer;
* midi;
* sblaster;
* gus;
* speaker;
* joystick;
* serial;
* dos;
* ipx; and
* autoexec.
I have posted a query on whether serial1 should be set to modem. Might I
try some other serial setting tweak?
