Comment on Finalterm - modern terminal done rightparent

Comments

Or perhaps we should move away from the teletype altogether and move towards block oriented smart terminals ala IBM. This would also help with network latency on mobile.

It is not entirely clear to me what advantages moving in that direction would provide. IIRC however mosh sort of moves in that direction for latency improvements while remoting.

Of course mosh's design also has some implications I am not satisfied with... that's not really on topic here, though I do wonder if mosh would run under Finalterm. I suspect not, though I haven't tried.
