See my Dosbox tips/problems at
http://www4.tpgi.com.au/users/aoaug/mac_osx.html#dosbox
It is designed for games and not serious business apps but I have got my
old DOS software Open Access runing smoothly (other than printing!).
Watch the co-processor bug in versions before 0.63.
I consider itr a viable alternative to VPC for runing DOS apps. However,
  I do find that Open Access runs reasonably well under VPC/Win98.
