Try the MKS toolkit (now version 3.1 or thereabouts). They work great,
mimic Unix even down to running init, reading the inittab (to load
TSR programs &c), runs rc through a shell & respawn a getty on the
screen.  You can _even_ tel DOS that the console is a com port &
run remote (single tasking only).

The only (minor) gripe that I have is with the Korn shell edit
function -- ^P recalls the last line, and in Unix the cursor is left
at the end of the line, in MKS at the start.  Apart from that it
seems _very_ faithful (and is about the only way to make MS-DOS
habitable :-)).

Get it from Programmer's Paradise, etc, for about US $ 150.00
