  It's in my generic RPM I downloaded from dosemu.org.  Works just fine 
in SuSE 10.2 and Mandrake 10.1, anyway.

  The command calls out of Dosemu to execute a Linux command; you could 
use it with curl or wget to pull some files down over the internet. 
I've never tried calling anything that required user interaction, though.
