Unless you want to work specifically with FreeDOS, you might look at DOSBox instead. It's a MS-DOS emulator that runs in user space, rather than running as the OS, thus a lower barrier to entry.

DOSBox is great for when you have a DOS gui, but if you don't need it, it's more overhead. Also dosemu+freedos can work headless. Aside: most of my interest here is classic BBS software and doors.
