    Hello,

    If I understand you correctly then the command screen is what you're looking
    for. It's not directly integrated into you ssh-session or anything but it
    does give you as many terminals as you want within the same ssh-session.

    really short userguide for screen:

    * login
    * run "screen" to create a new screen if you don't have one
      run "screen -ls" to list existing screens
      run "screen -r" to re-attach to an existing screen
      run "man screen" for the manual page
    * use "Ctrl+a c" to Create a new terminal
      use "Ctrl+a n" to switch to the Next terminal
      use "Ctrl+a d" to Detach from your screen (you can re-attach at next login)
      use "Ctrl+a ?" to get help (somewhat messy)

    Pros:
    * you can close down the ssh-session without killing the screen
    * you can have as many screens as you like and as many windows in a screen as
    you like
    * you can login from a different place and continue working were you left off
    * you're un-affected by network problems or even a reboot of you client
    machine

    Cons:
    * screen needs to be installed (comes with every linux dist I know though)
    * it can be confusing if you have to many screens ;-)

    sorry if this wasn't what you were looking for,
     Peter
