I've done this using the TELAPI (telnet API) interface that comes with 
LAN WorkPlace for DOS along with MS-Kermit (set for UB-Net1) connecting
via telnet to a terminal server attached modem.  LAN WorkPlace has the 
telnet "engine" and it's terminal emulators separate for this purpose.  
The TELAPI piece is a TSR tenet engine that supports both Int 14 and 6B 
that can be controlled via a separate utility called TSU (telnet session 
utility) if the comm package can't talk to it directly to say "open a 
telnet session to host_name".

This type of functionality is also possible with DOS TCP/IP products from 
FTP Software, Wollongong and others.  I vaguely recall hearing of Int 14 
support from a public domain or school usable telnet package as well.  

good luck with it,
brian
