No reason to give up with this issue ;-)
There are some limited ways to run DOSEMU in the background.
However, STDIN can't be feed in via a pipe, you need the 'keystroke'
feature to 'type-in' some few commands (rest has to be DOSish).
Look at ./doc/README.txt chapter "Running a DOS-application directly from
Unix shell" and especially "Running DOSEMU within a cron job".
The below script would run DOSEMU, start an application 'myapp' and then
exit. The (DOSish) output goes into the file '/tmp/outfile' :
#! /bin/bash
export TERM=dumb
exec dos </dev/null 2>/dev/null >/tmp/outfile \
-I 'video{none} keystroke "myapp\rexitemu\r"'"
... and this script very well should run in the background ;-)
