Install gnu screen
WARNING: Using the information in this post may lead to denial of support and possibly void your warranty. In addition you may lose a good nights sleep if something goes wrong. Basically don't try this unless you understand what you're doing.
GNU screen is a utility which allows you to detach from a terminal session. This is useful for long running scripts. For example, you can ssh in, start screen, start a big copy (cp) job or whatever you like and then press Ctrl-a-d to detach, exit ssh, go on vacation for a week, connect with ssh and reconnect to your original terminal session. If none of that makes any sense to you, you don't need this.
Installing gnu screen:
1. Open ssh session.
2. Type "apt-get update" at the # prompt. You can safely ignore the error about the readynas signature and continue on.
3. Type "apt-get install screen" at the # prompt.
At this point, screen works but the Backspace key may not, to resolve that, create a file called .screenrc in /root which contains:
bindkey -d ^? stuff ^H
bindkey -d ^@ stuff ^H
Now you should be able to enjoy screen by typing screen.

Re: Install gnu screen
You have a Duo v1, apt is not included by default, install the APT add-on linked in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=14903

Re: Install gnu screen
I'd recommend switching screen to byobu however, since it comes with a bunch of nifty extras, like a customizable status bar showing sysinfo.
