Running Wine at Command Line

Hey Everyone,
I believe this thread is meant to be directed towards a generic Wine question, and not so much the application to which it is being applied. If I am wrong, then you're helping me with a Nullsoft problem!

Here it goes:

I'm trying to run a simple DOS .exe called "nsvscsrc.exe" on my server. The exe is meant to run on a windows system at the command line (usually MSDOS). The program is one of the exe's from the new Nullsoft NSV Project.

The program is made to stream nullsoft media files to a server by running the exe with syntax at the command prompt. (Utilizing the well known "Shoutcast" server)

This is what I've done:

I've installed the wine RPM for RedHat 7.3 on my rackshack system.

Upon attempting to run the exe (just to see if it would output anything) I got the following:
Code: 
root@server [/path/to/shoutcast]# wine nsvscsrc.exe
Could not stat /mnt/floppy (No such file or directory), ignoring drive A:
x11drv: Can't open display:
root@server [/path/to/shoutcast]#
I could care less about the floppy drive mounting, there is no floppy drive =), and none is required.

I know that x11drv is some sort of graphics driver. (obviously, right?)

I'm doing this all at the command prompt, knowing that wine is built for an X Windows environment, but hey, this was a CPanel installable RPM and I know others have used it for command line applications.

I tried this just for good measure:
Code: 
root@server [/path/to/shoutcast]# wine -- nsvscsrc.exe -winver win31 -dosver 6.22
Could not stat /mnt/floppy (No such file or directory), ignoring drive A:
x11drv: Can't open display:
root@server [/path/to/shoutcast]#
Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the display driver and just have all output sent to the SSH screen?

I know this program works, as I have run it on my windows system. I'm trying to get this to work because I don't have sufficient home bandwidth to upload my large nullsoft media files fast enough to avoid buffer problems. (Think of this as someone trying to stream a 20MB 1 minute MP3 from Winamp's DSP with a COX upload speed of 256kbps (or roughly 30kb upload a second))

I just don't have a good enough connection to get it up to the server, but if I can run the streaming program from directly on the server, I wouldn't ever have to worry about broadcasting from my home system, it would all be right on the server.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Zonaxx
