On my Samba server, the shares accessed via Dosemu are configured with 'oplocks = no' 
and 'level2 oplocks = no', because of particularitites of the shared application.

I haven't tried Dosemu on shares without those two options, but since
oplocks are a NetBios feature, I don't see why it shouldn't work.
