I have Operation Overkill II running with dosemu2 in Linux. I recall sometimes users on my BBS have complained it thought someone was still playing - I think sometimes it might not be good at detecting whether a user has disconnected.

Also, I thought I had read that it doesn't support multiple users at the same time, but in OOIISETUP, I see there is an option to enable multi-node operation..  I have that set to Yes in mine, but concurrent users set to No in SCFG..

This is my configuration for it in SCFG (relevant options):

Name                        Operation: Overkill II
Internal Code               OOII
Start-up Directory          ../../doors/OOII
Command Line                OOIIDOOR.BAT %#
Multiple Concurrent Users   No
Native Executable           No
I/O Method                  FOSSIL or UART
Use Shell or New Context    Yes
BBS Drop File Type          DOOR.SYS (52 lines)
Place Drop File In          Node Directory


These are the system settings from my OOSETUP:
