I think that what you are seeking is a one-to-one solution. That is, something that would serve your function even if all you have are dumb terminals.
In a PC environment, however, there are solutions that will allow one to take over a PC, which of course, would include the System i session. The company I work for used to use VNC for that. I only used it while I was in the office (I have been remote for the last 3 years).
There were/are other PCAnywhere-like solutions out there.

Subject: Re: Is there a process that would allow me to take control of an interactive session?
Apologies, hit the wrong button.
Many of you probably have the same problem.
From time to time, a user will be in the middle of entering something like
an order when they get distracted, walk away or go home and leave the
session at that point, locking one or more records and objects.
Right now all I can do is end the job. That is not a clean way to do so and
creates other problems.
Way back in the system/38 or early AS/400 days, a vendor provided a
function to take over or log into an active session and allow you to
gracefully exit the program.
Does anyone know how this can be achieved today?
TIA, Darryl Freinkel.
