I have a couple of mail servers that are in testing mode, for logging 
purposes I have auth and mail running on tty9 and tty10. Due to brain fade 
which seems to be happening since 40 I cannot remember how I used to access 
remotely. SSH drops me into a terminal, but I cannot switch terminals, I 
know I am missing the point somewhere.

Have not tried before, but looks interesting, thanks for the heads up.
