But as I didn't find documentation
how to make the above work in current dosemus i will summarize how to get SPX working

You are right, the docs were not properly updated to reflect the TUN/TAP support addition as noone have ever really tested it (before you:)

$_vnet="tap"

Very nice. At least now we know it really works.

Make sure /dev/net/tun is accessible by the user who runs dosemu.

I think you forgot to describe how you dealt with the TAP interfaces. When dosemu opens the /dev/net/tun and requests the TAP interface, it is created in a "down" state (unless you used tunctil). You have probably brought it up with ifconfig? Also it is not clear how have you connected the TAP interface with an outside world. This is an essential difference with an older way where dosemu used the ethernet interfaces directly and no additional work was necessary. Everything else (not TAP-related) is mostly documented and applies to the TAP just as well as to the older methods.
