The jerky ness is the speed settings.. you can use ctrl+F11 and
ctrl+F12 to change the speed.

to fix the sound. from within dosbox run setup from the xcom directory

just accedpt the default settings.. (do not rase the sound chanels
above 4) and try soundblasterFM for the music.  some windows sound
cards dont support General Midi well so dosbox will not port the musit
to the midi outpoot.

if you want to permanently set the speed for the game so you dont have
to speed it up every time you load it.

from inside DosBox run:

config -writeconf ufo.cfg

then check the folder that you stared dosbox from and use notepad to
open ufo.cfg

look for the section titled [cpu] and the line cycles=1800
adjust the number higher to speed up dosbox.
I have mine set to cycles=8000 and it runs perfect on both my 2700+
and my 1800+ systems.

to use the the saved config file you have to lauch dosbox with either
a batch file or from the command line..
use the command 

Dosbox -conf ufo.cfg
