Vim doesn't support this officially, nor will. I've seen an
unofficial patch floating around that provides this functionality,
but Bram has been pretty forthright in stating it won't become part
of stock Vim.

Most folks here who want such functionality tend to run GNU screen or
tmux (or dtach+dvtm) which not only gives you the ability to display
another terminal, but come with a host of other benefits & features.
