It is very hard to give you a reliable answer.  It all depends on how
heavily does the original program use conio and DPMI functions.

I don't know if there is conio for Linux, but if there isn't, you
should be able to rewrite the conio functions using curses or termcap
facilities available on Linux.

As for DPMI functions, some have Linux analogs, some are usually not
needed at all, some are simply impossible to port to Linux.  I suggest
to ask specific questions about DPMI functions used by the original
program.  (Be sure to tell the details when you do.)
