In GNU Emacs, (describe-function (quote shell))

shell:
Run an inferior shell, with I/O through buffer *shell*.
[...]

Adding this:

(defun named-shell (shell-name)
  "Named shells"
  (interactive "sShell name: ")
  (cond ((get-buffer shell-name) (switch-to-buffer shell-name))
        (t (shell) (rename-buffer shell-name))))

brings us up to your requirements.  Follow the newsgroups gnu.emacs.*
and comp.emacs for how to obtain GNU Emacs, as you say you can't FTP.
