Sounds like you are trying to put a multi-tasking application on a single-tasking box. Though you can write it, NONE of the support software will have been extensively tested for multi-tasking. Have you thought about dumping MS-DOS and getting multitasking systems with TCP/IP? Some ideas: cheap Unix workstations (HP has one under $5000) Unix on PCs HP1000 68000 cards with VxWorks ROM-able OS (Mizar sells these) The VxWorks stuff looks particularly interesting.
