Use screen. It allows you run multiple sessions from the same terminal, and you can switch between them, detach the screen sessions, etc. So, you can dial in, start what you need to do, detach your sessions, and even cut the link, all without compromising the things you're doing on the remote host. Get it from the ports collection. It is hugely useful, once you get the hang of it.
