Try PROCOMM.  It's availiable on almost any bbs that has IBM software.
It has a host mode that is protected by 2 levels of password security,
allowing you to bring up a dos shell or whatever shell is specified by
the COMSPEC environment variable.

I've used it in host mode in a DESQVIEW window,  while bringing it up in
terminal mode in another window and calling up the first window and
transferred a file across, all on the same pc (2 modems and phone lines
required).  Granted this is not exactly the most efficient way of doing
things, but I was just checking to see if it would work.  I haven't tried
it with DOUBLEDOS, but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work just
as well.
