Linux is a multitasking system - you can run DosEmu more than once.
Where is the problem?

also no problem.
Mount your smbfs shares in Linux and use lredir or simply symbolic
links for DosEmu.

Also already implemented. ;-)
It seems, you don't know DosEmu at all, right?

Needn't be a specialist for it - simply enter the path for DosEmu as
you shell.

I've tried already two of them: sshdos and ncsa telnet.
Both packages come with more additional stuff. So it's not a bad idea
to fetch both of them.
sshdos is, as the name sais, more concerned with ssh, but it also has a
normal telnet. It can emulate a fully linux compatible terminal.
But I think ncsa telnet is much better for me: unfortunately it can do
only vt102 (ie. black/white and function keys missing) But it can open
multiple sessions at once, it has a great scrollback buffer (nearly BSD
style), you can cut'n'paste text areas - even between different sessions.
It can do screenshots and logging. And it has a much easier and better
setup.
Furthermore it can be setup as telnet and ftp server!
(But I haven't tried that yet)
