Try the d1x resp. d2x project, they are looking after the sourcecode of 
the gameengine since it made opensource by interplay - you still need 
the data files from the original games though:

http://icculus.org/d2x/

May be you can try Glidos.

Graphic seems to be much better than D2X, but there are also some 
difficulties with sound, joystick, ...
But may be, it will be better in the future. :)

NTVDM adds Sound Blaster emulation support to DOS boxes under Windows 
2000/XP:

or with vmware very lousy performance (10fps i guess)

VMWare wasn't meant for games, obviously :)

in fact, ntcdm gave very lousy performance too, but now i got d1x and no
specific sound emulation besides the built in, and it works perfectly in
1024x768

thank you all
