I do not know of such a terminal. If it does exist, I have not heard
of it, but it is probably doable (though passing the server's
current working directory back to the client might be tricky).

The closest I know of is what Keith suggested: connect to
the server, then on the server run a terminal multiplexer,
like GNU Screen or Tmux
