> How are you detecting VBox?
I'm using a program called RBPCI <https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ralf/files.html>
to scan all devices connected to whatever machine the Cobalt setup is
running on. During setup, it uses RBPCI to scan for a device with a
DeviceID of "BEEF" - which is the VirtualBox display driver.

VT-X makes things much much slower. I honestly wouldn't turn it off for all
programs, by default.
The biggest culprit I found was Windows 3.x.

Pretty much. I'm hoping something like this guide
<http://freedos.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/VirtualBox_-_Chapter_6> will
work, and I can configure Cobalt to show the IP address of the server at
startup for easily connecting. Also thanks for letting me know about
VMSMOUNT, I had no idea that existed!

include DEVLOAD so the CDROM can be loaded after a successful boot to the
command line.
What JEMMEX config would you think works the best?

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
