The programs UW do what you want.  I say programs because one part runs on,
for instance, a VAX, while the other part runs on the Mac.  The VAX end opens
up multiple pseudottys, each running a shell.  Then it multiplexes the
output to the multiple corresponding windows on the Mac.  It is really nice,
and it works over the serial port, so you can do multi-[text-based-]windows
over a dialup connection.  That's better than X-windows, etc.
