Works under Dosbox0.72 in Ubuntu 9.04, but with some issues:
Keyboard
Because of hardware keyboard limitations, multiple keypresses are a problem in all games.
The theory is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollover_(key) Some more info: http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showthread.php?t=378053
To workaround in Threat, use modifier keys, such as ctrl and shift for the player controls. An example key mapping is:
Player1:
| Function | Key | 
| forward | '/?' key | 
| backward | ';' key | 
| left | right ctrl | 
| right | right shift | 
Player2:
| Function | Key | 
| forward | caps lock | 
| backward | left shift | 
| left | left ctrl | 
| right | left alt | 
Also, dosbox doesnt seem to properly recognise the IBM z60t keyboard, at least under Ubuntu, so with CTRL-F1, must remap other keys (such as scrlck, F10,F11,F12) to the arrow keys.
Sound
Using Soundblaster1, sound works, but have noticeable lag, and is choppy.
