386i DOS windows?

We have a network of SUN 3/xx(x) machines, and are currently looking into
buying two additional machines for a new lab.  There are several people
here who use MS-DOS applications, so the 386i is an interesting
alternative to investigate.  However, my primary concern is that only one
person can use DOS at a time (even though it may be multiple windows).
Can DOS windows be opened via telnet, or even over serial lines?  I know
that DOS can handle a standard ANSI display mode, so this doesn't sound
too far fetched.  Can anyone help me?
