The unsung hero of the console is screen(1), which lets you open
multiple windows, swap between them and resize them. It lets you lock
the terminal. It lets you reconnect to your windows if your network
connection dies. It can even show a clock and list of windows along the
bottom line. If you haven't checked out screen, you are REALLY missing
out.

Unless, of course, there is a gaping hole in your commodity router.
