Yeah. It's very similar to the [modem] Save# keys (that are dialed with ATDS#), but more aligned with what you were asking for (and not limited to 20).

I haven't run bare DOS in a long long time, so yeah, not really interested in that. I don't think much of this project would really be reusable on anything but Windows NT-based OSes. Little pieces, like the telnet stuff, I suppose, sure, but that's not a large portion.
