We're looking for the same thing, and so are a lot of other people.  The
problem is that to implement such a beast, you need to do implement a
redirector for DOS; doing so without a knowledge of the internal "hooks"
in DOS 3.x+ is kludgy at best.

Getting those "hooks" is non-trivial; you either have to license from
Microsoft (many $$$, I suspect) or disassemble DOS and figure it out for
yourself.  People have, I'm sure, done the latter; the amount of work
involved in doing so has kept them from sharing the information for
free.  Note that Interrupt List that's been on the net for a while has
a lot of ???  when it comes to the redirector...
