Per Bothner's term.el comes to mind.  See function `term-send-raw' in
particular.  I thought there might be better ones by now (John
Weigley's eshell, in particular) but I don't use them and it's not
immediately obvious to me whether it has a "raw" mode.

In principle, it's conceptually easy: just bind the keys that you want
to be sent "raw" to something like

(defun kludge-o-matic ()
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (goto-char (process-mark))
    (insert last-command-char)
    (let ((comint-process-echoes t))
      (comint-send-input))))

and you're done.
