NetBSD has a couple of DOS emulators; the Linux 'dosemu' and the BSDi
'DOScmd'.  Sean Fagan and I have been working on DOScmd for FreeBSD, but
Sean has been too busy to get the kernel bits working.  Aside from this,
it works quite well.

Some.  The missing component here is the vm86 support.

Not me; too much on my plate as it is 8(
