It's DoubleVision from tridia.com. Very good, unlimited users license is
standard.

Kernel resident, does not change how pty's are assigned. Has a good Menu
system and can translate one terminal type to another. Limited platform
availability (no Linux except for Red Hat for example).

The other commercial product I use is Peek, from computron.com, at my
Unixware sites (Unixware is only recently available for DV).

Can be cheaper for smaller sites as it has a per user license, but it
requires launching a Peek shell on login, that then launches sh/ksh/bash
whatever.

You have to script your own menu (not hard) or use the character command
line.
