Well you can certainly run dosemu (and hence DOS programs) remotely. The way it works is that * DOS programs write to the text mode buffer at 0xB0000 or 0xB8000 * n times per second, (n=5 by default), DOSEMU examines the text buffer and tells the contents to the Slang library. * the Slang library can then compare the screen contents with the old state, and generates terminal escape sequences to update the screen. It depends on your CPU how long this takes. It's quick enough for me.
