    86Box is sick - and I'm still thankful that you turned me onto it.

    My pleasure :)

    I don't see any reason why MTCP should not work in MSDOS 6.22 environ if there is right networking card that is enlisted on supported packe driver list.

    It'll run happily on DOS5.x+ in VMs. Given the provisions already mentioned. VirtualBox has by default 2 supported card types.

    I run my DOS inside 86box emulator. If you really want to turn your modern PC into a legacy one, with exact setup (CPU,GPU, Motherboard, you name it).. then I find no other way than 86box.net today.

    I hazard a guess, if you want to emulate something a bit "out of the box"
    that it'll do that nicely. For most use cases though, the bells and whistles aren't a major component to DOS software though. I find VB more than sufficient for BBS work, which is all it does.
