Hey Jon,
You are in SERIOUS luck here. There is a new patch for Linux and a
new .DLL for BattleZone that fixes ALL of this. Here is the

The Battlezone patch is at http://us4.alink.activision.com/tmp/nat/

(which is now in the 2.2.x kernels), re-compile and boot with the
new kernel and then replace the old BattleZone .DLL file, you
should be able to play without any issues!
Let me know if you get this all running ok!
