But what way the software is to access so many comports
simultaneously? Usually DOS programs get com port info
from BIOS table, which has 4 entries (at 40h:0..7).

If a DOS program is to use more, it must have some way
to find them, and this is usually hardware-dependent
(e.g. there are multiport serial cards with 8 ports - do
 you mean using such a cards, or I missed something?).

Or maybe you want to run separate DosEmu for each
external connection, but in such a case even these 4
comports for a DosEmu session is more than you need.
