You could either run xdos or xtermdos. Look in the xtermdos script how it
does run dos inside an xterm.
It basically boils down to
xterm -font vga -fb vga -geometry 80x25 -bg black -fg gray -e dos $*
Of course, xdos also has graphical capabilities which xtermdos does not
have. OTOH in such an xterm with the right font it is also possible to run
dosemu remotely over a telnet connection in case of remote-X problems.
