There is a paper, "Cognitive Representations of Windows and Multiple
Screen Layouts of Computer Interfaces" by KL Norman, LJ Weldon, and

Laboratory, which is exactly about multiple-scren systems built of
80X25 screens.

I would think that once you had, say, 4 "windows" built out of terminals,
that you would have exceeded the cost of a Mac running Unix Windows.
