Right on the money. DOSBOX does the trick just fine. 
Cheers, Sirko
I was upgrading my kernel to a recent 3.15 version and am now unable to run dosemu with DPMI support - no vpa
; at the startup of dosemu I get this message:
ERROR: DPMI initialization failed, disabling
64-bit kernel perhaps? Maybe it's related to this discussion: http://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/11/542 (I haven't read it in full, but they talk about breaking 16-bit apps).
If your processor is fast enough to run in 64 bits, it's also fast enough to run DOSBOX, and that one should do DPMI just fine.
