Hey there,

If the server is running an x64 version of Windows then yes. NTVDMx64 works on Server 2003, 2008, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 2016, 11. Though you could also do the same with a DOSBOX setup, this is probably older but check out https://dosbox.bbsdev.net which has some instructions, links may be older. If you google "bbs doors dosbox", "bbs doors doorway", "bbs doors ntvdmx64" you can hit a ton of resources.

Reportedly, NTVDMx64 does *not* work on Windows 11: https://github.com/leecher1337/ntvdmx64/issues/140

But maybe that's a false alarm as the project's readme now says it was tested on "Windows 11 x64".
