The closest thing I have found is to run SCREEN on the UNIX box.  It
allows you to create multiple shell windows, but each one is
full-screen in size.  You can toggle between the windows, leaving tasks
running.  You can also set-up a standard set of windows at
.login (e.g., one for mail, one for news, one for editing, etc.).  I
use it with PROCOMM in VT100 mode.

SCREEN is available in the comp.sources.unix archives.
