Actually, one good solution is turning on the Nagle algorithm, or rather not using TCP_NODELAY (I don't know if ssh sets it, but I guess it does to improve responsiveness). What you propose will break situations where you have to type one non-interesting key to invoke an action, people wait for it to happen but it won't be sent out because of your proposed terminal type. The only way you could safely do this is if the server side would send cues whether or not to do character/word/line buffering. -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen <guus@sliepen.warande.net>
