You could do one of four things..

1) Get TERM.. It does multi/io on a serial link really really well!
2) get SCREEN.. Also does multi console type of stuff well..
3) write a Line Switcher in the modem server like some terminal
   servers do..
4) Get the user (If there under MAC/DOS) to use UW(PC) which does
   multi consoles from a unix box to a MAC or a PC..
