Let me make sure I have this straight:
tty
\
tty - Remote UNIX box ------ ethernet ------- local UNIX box
/
tty
And you want to see the tty's from the local box. Correct?

Sounds like a job for screen. Screen allows you to run multiple sessions
on a single terminal, so you run your favorite term program to watch all
the tty's, and detach those sessions, so you can hop between each tty and
interact as needed.
Am I on the right track?
