I remember HP100LX server mode communication source was available in
Japanese BBS about 7 years ago.  But let me see for HP48, you can most
likely find anything on Debian :)

$ apt-cache search HP48

x48 - Emulator of Hewlett-Packards HP48 calculator
hp48cc - C-like compiler which produces HP48 RPN
hptalx - A HP48 or HP49 <-> Computer communications program for Linux.

$ apt-cache policy hptalx
hptalx:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1.1.0-5
  Version Table:
     1.1.0-5 0
        700 http://http.us.debian.org testing/contrib Packages
        800 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/contrib Packages

Yes it is in testing.  Oh also you may be able to run DOS program under
DOSEMU :)

Good luck !
