Ah, sure. Newer dosemu may refuse
to run with the wrong configuration,
whilst the older ones could just
ignore an error. In most cases
you don't need to touch the config
at all - the defaults are mostly
sane.
$_vnet accepts the string, so (off)
is definitely wrong.

Not for me. You have to investigate
further what have you done wrong
to make this to happen. Played with
the build options?
There are rather many things you
did wrong, for example you are
expected to run dosemu/xdosemu
and not dosemu.bin. And you are
not expected to do anything at
all with the global.conf (other
than probably to just delete it
since it is of no use).
What more have you done?
But in all cases, dosemu should
at least print a reasonable diagnostic,
otherwise it is a bug.
If I set $_vnet=(off), I get this:

$ dosemu.bin -X
ERROR: Unknown vnet mode "0"
