<p dir="ltr">Read support means support for reading that file type. GDAL is also included in MS4W so you probably wouldn't need OSGeo4W on the server.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I haven't tried using DXF directly in MapServer. I have used AutoCAD generated layers both as shp (including text converted to polygons) and as the DWG plotted to a PNG + world file and then served as a raster via MapServer.</p>
