"screen -rd"

Screen is a terminal multiplexer program, under which you can run one
(or more) terminals.  If you login from another place, the above command
will Detach-Reattach the session to the current terminal.  It is a
GPL'ed program so you don't have to get an eval copy or even buy
anything.

rpm -i screen or whatever it is you do under RH8...
