Hi Gary,

You may have already gotten responses to this, but here goes:

I would suggest you get a copy of GNU's screen 3.5.2 from cdrom.com in
the packages or ports directory.  Once installed, this program will allow
you to open up multiple virtual sessions from your initial login session.

It even works over dial-in modem lines.
