This is easy to do, use the -E option to dosemu.bin and then execute
unix -e under dosemu (done automatically with the FreeDOS autoexec.bat)

i.e. dosemu -Efoo would run the command 'foo' when 'unix -e' is issued
inside the dos session.

I did this; simply make a script that runs your desired program in
dosemu, and bind that script to a port in /etc/inetd.conf.  When the
user telnets to the port, the port I/O becomes dosemu standard I/O.
Easy to run a LORD or TW2002 server this way (in local mode though).
