I've attempted this on a satellite link and, believe me, it's only  
suited to medium-latency links.  ssh-ing to Mars would suck as well.

Has anybody seen a line-mode-oriented shell?  I'd love to edit my  
line locally and then send it in these situations rather than waiting  
for characters to echo back.
