1) job control (see the relevant section in man `basename $SHELL`),
2) the "screen" and/or "splitvt" and/or "window" programs,
   (the earlier two are 3rd party via ports),
3) virtual terminals on the (graphics card) console (implemented on
   i386 in freebsd, netbsd and linux), switchable via (ctrl+)alt+Fkey,
4) multiple xterms on X11,
5) all of the above together.

1) and 2) work on any cursor-addressible terminal.
