I aggree with the notion of using ncurses. The web based route is fine for multi users over a network cause the web browser can act as a thin client. There seems to be a nice curses development lib for perl too that I've looked at in the past. This will probably be written in perl as I find perl to be a fast develop language and it is powerful at the same time.
