Those old DOS apps don't use stdin/stdout but rather they write directly
to the screen buffer (or use BIOS calls.) That was how things were done
in the old days, because no one really had any notion of remote access
in DOS. You'll have to use a specialized program such as PC Anywhere
that can intercept the BIOS interrupts and/or virtualize the screen
buffer and cope with those old programs.
