Controlling DOS box programs

OK, this may seem like an odd question, but my company has some old leagacy software that still runs in a DOS box under XP. We regularly use PCAnywhere or logmein to remote access our PC's since this is software we use everyday, even when we are on the road/at home.

I think I have my boss set to buy 8125's for us but I cannot figure out how to control some functions with this using the 8125. I know that logmein and PCanywhere work since I have tested them on a buddies' 8125 but the problem I have having is that there are no Function keys or 'esc' on the 8125 keyboard and I need those to control this DOS program.

Does anyone know of a way to hack the keyboard or send 'special' keys like this?

I did do a search but there was no way I could read 3 100+ page threads on this...

Thanks much
