isn't that what 'screen' is for?

NAME
screen - screen manager with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation
SYNOPSIS
screen [ -options ] [ cmd [ args ] ]
screen -r [[pid.]tty[.host]]
screen -r sessionowner/[[pid.]tty[.host]]
DESCRIPTION
Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a
physical terminal between several processes (typically
interactive shells). Each virtual terminal provides the
functions of a DEC VT100 terminal and, in addition, sev-
eral control functions from the ISO 6429 (ECMA 48, ANSI
X3.64) and ISO 2022 standards (e.g. insert/delete line and
support for multiple character sets). There is a scroll-
back history buffer for each virtual terminal and a copy-
and-paste mechanism that allows moving text regions
between windows.
When screen is called, it creates a single window with a
shell in it (or the specified command) and then gets out
