mosh is really nice for remoting like this: http://mosh.mit.edu/ Don't know if there is a mosh implementation for iOs, though... none listed on the site (two applications implementing mosh listed for Android): http://mosh.mit.edu/#getting The wikipedia article mentions something called iSSH, which is said to have a mosh protocol plugin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosh_(software)#Supported_platforms A short summary of mosh behaviour: - An SSH connection is used to connect and authenticate the user - After the initial SSH connection mosh switches to an UDP protocol that tries to keep the local terminal emulator in sync with a terminal emulator process running on the host, automatically handling disconnects, suspend, new IP numbers, etc. When I had a working linux netbook I used mosh to connect to a couple of servers, and it worked perfectly from hotel WiFi all over Europe, and my ICE modem, as well as other places in the world: as soon as I had a connection, the mosh window was live again, and at the state where I left it (or the process on the server side had left it, actually).
