I have used both MultiView and FaceTerm.  While MultiView is fancier, the
simplicity of FaceTerm may offer some speed improvements.  I have used it
primarily on Unisys machines, but I know they also offer it for Xenix.

It allows up to 16 windows for a user.  They also have a product called
PC-Facet that allows a PC to offload much of the windowing protocol from the
host to the PC.  What I liked best of FaceTerm was it's ability to buffer
the complete screen for a session in most terminals, so that when you switch
between sessions, you don't lose the screen.  Multi-View uses system buffers,
which is part of the overhead loss.
