Ok, I have developed DOSGATE, a DEVICE driver that runs under DOS... it replaces the console driver (IE: ANSI.SYS)... and allows one to control the machine via the serial port, AND the console... It was developed for Amateur Packet Radio use, but I tried to make it flexible enough so one could control the machine via a modem, or even an RS-232 line. It DOES NOT protect from the remote user destroying your machine, but the DOS's do give some hints on that... It will allow you to run ANY MS-DOS specific program.. That is ANY software the does NOT do it's I/O via DOS calls (ie: BIOS calls or directly accessing the hardware will bypass the DOSGATE) won't work. I am now in Beta test... I hope to distribute as shareware... Could this help you? If you write your programs in 'C' and don't access the hardware directly (ie: printf's scanf's for I/O will work fine) then it will work... I have noticed that BASIC (even compiled Basic) directly accesses the hardware and bypasses the device driver...
