Today I was able to install DNS 9 without native DCOM,
and playback worked fine.  (It crashed after training, but
that's another bug.  Loading dcom98 did not seem to work around the crash.)

For completeness, here's the recipe (reconstructed; not sure how
much of this is needed):
1. rm -rf ~/.wine

2. wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
sh winetricks vrun6

3. wine /media/cdrom/setup.exe 

4. when the installer prompts for the 2nd disc, go
to another window and run "wine eject", then grumble
and type "eject" (for some reason the wine one wasn't enough?), 
then insert disc, wait for it to mount, and click 'retry'.

5. install word 97 viewer as follows:
  wget
http://downloads.pcworld.com/pub/new/business/word_processing/wordview.exe
  cp wordview.exe ~/.wine/drive_c/wvinstall.exe
  mv ~/.wine/dosdevices/z: ~/.wine/dosdevices/oldz
  cd ~/.wine/drive_c
  wine wvinstall.exe
  cd ../dosdevices/
  mv oldz z:
  cd

6. sh winetricks fakeie6 gdiplus
7. finally, do 
  wine natspeak.exe

This let me get all the way through training.  
There were two strange bits:
1) the app said it could not set the mic level automatically,
so I had to do it by hand.
2) during training, the big green arrow would sometimes flicker
wildly and not recognize anything I said; fortunately, clicking 'pause'
and 'continue' always got me past that.

Anyway, I think I can close this bug again.
