I’m sure I can get something going with networking, I am the crazy person that 
made QuakeWorld & Quake II for MS-DOS possible… .(yes with netplay!).

I wonder if UMS-DOS is still a thing, and if it can be mounted over ISO-9660 … 
it’d be an interesting way to combine both MS-DOS and a Linux CD, as you are 
right, Linux does have far better networking support.

I’m also glad that SLiRP made the cut for the newer SIMH.

While you could probably get simh running using djgpp and MSDOS, you'd play 
hell trying to get networking. In theory, it would be possible to graft NDIS 
support into simh, but there probably aren't many modern NICs with real mode 
NDIS drivers.

I think you'd be better off building a simh "appliance" around a small linux 
distro.

Another option would be DJGPP, which has the advantage of being GCC so SIMH 
should be comfortable with it.  I've used it in the past for Unix-origin 
programs with good success.
