(forwarding from Guillem) In response to Eric, I have tried DOSemu and I did manage to get the serial ports to work. I had a few problems with it, though. Neither the PC speaker or the Sound Blaster worked. To be honest I’m not sure if the netbook I was running it on has a PC speaker anyways. Another one of my problems with DOSemu is that, for some reason, when i tried to use my DOS screenreader's review mode, the either the emulator or the reader crashed. I can’t get out of review mode and my only way out is by exiting the emulator. I could of course use terminal or dumb mode but those don’t like some of the games I’ve tried, such as Eamon Deluxe. My most stable alternative right now is my Windows 3.1 VMWare virtual machine, which actually works pretty well both in DOS and Windows mode, except for the sound blaster which only works inside Windows. I might postpone the dualboot until a better alternative is available since I don’t think I’ll purchase a new laptop just for this.
