First, there is tmux:

Description : tmux is a “terminal multiplexer.” It enables a number of terminals (or
: windows) to be accessed and controlled from a single terminal. tmux is
: intended to be a simple, modern, BSD-licensed alternative to programs such
: as GNU Screen.


The EPEL does have screen, if that tmux is not ok.
