How about the same solution that applies to every other unix device?
Write a driver that supplies the required functions and an interlocking
mechanism to parcel them out to the applications that request them.  Then
you could have virtual terminals without having to fire up a DOS emulator
(seemed like a pretty strange concept to me anyway... unix in a dos window?).
