I can open a second rxvt at sdf from the first one (rxvt &) and run two
text programs at once, similar to using splitvt.

Text programs appear to work at the same speed as via ssh/telnet.
What is the speed ratio for you (broadband x-terminal vs telnet)?

I have pine in one rxvt and links -g (~keesan/tmp/bin/links -g) currently
drawing one clump of characters at a time in another rxvt.  It starts off 
full-screen but I can reduce it to half screen with the mouse (in icewm).

Splitvt also works for running several text programs, top and bottom.
(via telnet/ssh)

I get lpr:  scheduler not responding
error messages and the mouse stops working and I cannot switch terminals
and have to exit X.  Back in regular text mode again at sdf.
