If I absolutely had to run a DOS application under VMS or MicroVMS on a
MicroVax, what options are available to accomplish this?  Are there software 
packages that emulate DOS?  Would a "computer on a board" be the best solution?
I'd like to avoid buying PC's as terminals and using them as the DOS machines.

I'm very new to the DEC world -- I have little or no idea what capabilities
exist.  Please, no flames.
