Split window text console possible?

I would like to be able to split the existing text-mode console of CSG into
two areas.

One to contain the actual /dev/console output that would be normally
generated during
runtime operations. The other to run a local login window.

i.e. so that an administrator can work at the console without the logs
occurring in
the same work area.

The reason is that we have lights-out access to some of our AS4100's and
only RCM modem
access to the console, hence it is useful to be able to split the one
console window
into two areas.

Does anyone know of such a program that could replace the getty line in
inittab
for the console device, in order to provide this function?

thanks.
