I doubt it.  The problem being that the end of an interrupt handler is
signalled by a IRET instruction.  The old routine will be ending in
such an IRET.  So at the minimum, you'ld have to use the DPMI simulate
interrupt call method to call it, and I'm not sure that's allowed from
inside an interrupt handler.
