AFAIK Dosbox does not run a certain type of OS. It runs, that's it. It is entirely focussed on DOS type programs. On their website I read this part of an interview:

What would like to see different in DOSBox?

Pawel: Some things:
- automatic cd switching mechanism (attach several ISOs to one drive letter and allow DOSBox to handle that)
- more sound cards emulation (like sb awe 32)
- 3dfx glide support (power vr as well)
- more memory for graphic card
- built-in NetBIOS
- Windows 3.1 emulation/support ;)


This is a clear indication that Win 3.1 is not supported.

Constructive frustration is the breeding ground of genius.
If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
