In fact, FANSI-Console, by Mark Hersey will do this.

It is the only ANSI.SYS type driver I've seen that emulates the split
screen functionality of the VT100 terminal.  It is pretty cool, but it
is a little annoying to have a 40K ANSI.SYS loaded.

FANSI-Console was written a long time ago (back when I lived in Ann Arbor,
in fact...), but should still be available from the usual gang of
archive sites.
