At a very basic level I don't know if it is wise to make it easy to open up old unmaintained dos executables to the public internet.
According to wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slirp#Limitations slirp cannot accept the incoming connections, and therefore gives as much of a protection as the NAT does. But I really can't follow their (wikipedia) logic: at least if the port is not already in use, why can't slirp open it to listen for the incoming connections? They claim you need a port forwarding for that.
maintenance dead end. If slirp updates can be pulled from qemu I don't imagine there will be any maintenance problems.
Well you probably know how "often" the dosemu releases are made: not much more frequently than the ones of slirp. :) So if there be some updates on slirp, even if someone will pull them into dosemu git quickly, they have zero chances to reach the user within 10 years or more, so this is not the best solution. :)) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
