I settled on tmux because I couldn’t figure out side-by-side window panes in screen. I’ll give screen another try it would be great if it supported it. In any case, i use a serial console app such as minicom[1] or OpenBSD’s cu[2] to console into my router when initially setting it up or the rare occasion I cannot access it by ssh.
