Probably not what you want; but assuming the machine you are ssh'ing from is FreeBSD or Linux or something else with virtual terminals then you can have multiple local logins and from each run a separate ssh session on the remote machine. Once setup the Alt-f? key strokes will switch between those separate ssh sessions. It is also possible to funnel other ssh sessions or other types such as telnet through the original ssh session but this can get rather complex and probably gains nothing over separate ssh connections. In other words I'm not quite sure how you do it!
