Not sure about "official" repo or packages (as there's too many files
to keep close track of, IMHO).

A port to DJGPP for Links2 exists (but not sure if in proper package
form). At least, I don't see any package for it under
/distributions/1.1/repos/net/ . The full (non-lite) .EXE does support
HTTPS/SSL and both text-only or graphics viewing.

Easy enough to just use QEMU (under *BSD), which should work fine
(with either PCNTPK or NE2000).

No universal or "good" support, but a very very few DOS apps do have
(some) limited HDA support.

And, just to be clear, QEMU audio is somewhat unstable (in my
experience), so while other stuff works there, don't get your hopes up
that it will fulfill all your DOS sound needs. Honestly, for sound,
DOSBox is probably better.
