Yep, there sure is.  The first one to come to mind is PROCOMM.
Procomm has a host mode (ALT-Q - I think?) which will do what you want.  Very e
asy to use.  Best of all it is PUBLIC DOMAIN. (Yes, you can also set up
passwords for access to the dos shell.)

If you can get Procomm Plus, Its host mode is a bit better in that you can
run a "bbs" with multiple users, e-mail.  Here you can control which user
has access to the DOS shell.  Procomm is all or nothing if I remember correctly
..
