Running Dos Applications From Remote Terminals

I am running DOS MERGE on top of Microport Unix System V/386 rev 3.
I would like to be able to run DOS programs from tty terminals rather
than the console. I have had limited success using KERMIT or PROCOMM
emulating VT-100 on PC's attached to my tty line when running DOS programs.
The keys don't map well, the extended character set doesn't map well,
and I only have 24 lines emulated.

MY QUESTION:

Has anyone tried to write a terminal emulator of some sort which runs 
on a DOS PC and a terminfo entry to match which will allow DOS applications
to work properly from remote terminals?

Many Thanks for any advice,

Orville R. Weyrich, Jr.
