You're right about that: if multiple users invoke attachtty on the
same process, only one attachtty "client" (the most recent one) can
get REPL commands to work.

There may be options in either detachtty/attachtty which can get
around this, but there was nothing obvious in the man pages.

If qcmu is no longer maintained, have you considered revisiting the
original lispserver idea
(http://www.cons.org/cmucl/doc/lispserver.html) and writing your own
version of it?

The original article on cons.org plus the qcmu source in combination
may provide enough information to get it done.
