Someone else mentioned eXodus, an X server that runs on the Mac. I suspect
that there's no SLIP for the Mac, so this will only work if the Mac and the
host are on a network (AppleTalk or Ethernet) together.
For use over serial lines connected to Unix there's a publically available
system called UW (for Unix Windows). It consists of a Macintosh terminal
emulator and some Unix programs (when I last saw it (4-5 years ago) it only
worked with BSD Unix). After logging into Unix using the terminal emulator
you would issue the Unix "uw" command, and you would then be able to create
multiple shell windows, either from a Macintosh menu or via a Unix command
("uwtool" -- the name is patterned after Sun's convention of naming
window-based versions of programs <program>tool).
UW should be available from a Macintosh archive server. Don't ask me where
they are, I don't know.
