I haven't tried DOSTEX, but I'm using emtex, available from
terminator.cc.umich.edu under /msdos/text-mgmt/TeX/emtex.  It
works OK, and has a program to print to epson-fx style printers,
which I haven't tried yet.

Also on terminator.  The MF program, along with a bunch of fonts, is
also under /msdos/text-mgmt/TeX/emtex.

emtex is large (~ 7 MB compressed on terminator); without ftp access
it's kind of difficult to get.
