I have done this using  product called DoorWay, which is shareware, and
available from most good BBS (e.g. Salt Air, home of PCBoard).  
This product reads the video RAM directly, and sends out codes to the
remote user to update the changes to the screen.  It works OK with Procomm,
but will work much better with Qmodem, which supports a special Doorway
feature that even allows ALT and scan-code sequences to be sent via
modem as well, not just ASCII.
