I need to be able to remotely control application software on
an IBM PC/XT and PC/AT (running DOS).  Is there just a simple
DOS command to do it?  Do I need to write interrupt handlers to
"fake-out" the keyboard remotely and pass the output back through the
serial port?  I'm assuming (dangerous :-)) fairly well behaved
applications that go through DOS or the BIOS.  Are there tricks
to poorly behaved applications?  Finally, is there software
(source preferably), commercial, PD, shareware -- that does
this sort of thing (with phone numbers and/or addresses)?
Thanks.
