I suppose you are telnetting from DOS machine to DosEmu - yes?
There is a way to solve the problem - as I remember except CapsLock
key which cannot be passed to DosEmu. I wrote a DOS program which
converts some keys to sequences which DosEmu sees as these keys.
It is not, and cannot be full emulation: on PC key sends make code,
repeats the code if held, and sends break code when released. This
will be on DosEmu side with general shift keys: Shift, Ctrl - both
left and right are received as the same, Alt, AltGr (right Alt).
All other are received as make+break every time they are sent from
terminal. And CapsLock has no code for DosEmu: if it is on, letters
will be uppercased on terminal side. I am not sure how is received
uppercase letter on DosEmu side when scancodes are read...
Let me know if you need the program. Caution: it cause troubles
if there is no DosEmu on second side: e.g. Shift is sent as
Ctrl-^ S and it is hard to type shell commands (up arrow does
not work as you want). You can hold CapsLock to disable the key
translation done by it, but on many keyboards some keys does not
work correctly while CapsLock is held. I can send you its source
so you can change it. Or, maybe terminal emulator can redefine keys?
