As you mentioned DosBox, I assumed that non-Linux environment was DOS. That was a mistake.

Checking the game's web site, I now see the game runs on Win32, x86 Linux, and Mac OS 10.2+. Neither DosBox nor Bochs are likely up to the task of running Windows 95 for this game, so it appears Internet tablets won't be Uplinking anytime soon.

In the faint hope category though, the creators of this game have already made it available on the more common, x86 Linux platform and even allowed a Mac software company to make a port. They're clearly open to non-Windows environments, so they may be more likely than many other game companies to make an Internet tablet version. I doubt they'll see enough potential income to invest the time, but it can't hurt to ask.
never thought of asking the company lol i brought my copy years ago and the company is very good (when people started making mods for the game the company patched the game to make mods easier for people to do) i urge anyone who doesnt own the game to try the demo !
i will email them in a few minutes and will reply here with what they say
