You should be able to use a PPP driver strictly under the DOSEmu session
(ugly). However, if your intent is to use PPP under Linux with MWave,
it might be possible with some minor changes to DOSEmu and Linux kernel
device mapping srcs.
After step 3 above, DOSEmu should have a virtual serial port assigned
by the MWave drivers. If you can export the device from DOSEmu into
Linux (via kernel device mapping), you can load a serial driver module
under Linux at that address and access the modem.
A few concerns with this procedure might include:
1. unexpected results if the serial device is written to simultaneously
from under Linux and DOSEmu.
2. unexpected results if the DOSEmu session is closed.
3. unexpected results if the serial port is re-initialized.
3. is the MWave COM port a completely software driven virtual device,
or does MWave actually have serial hardware registers that just get
initialized by the MWave drivers? (latter seems to be unlikely).

Because MWave sound is hardware register compatible with Sound Blaster *
as opposed to being a software emulation.
Good luck!
