Are you thinking of Mosh? http://mosh.mit.edu/ http://mosh.mit.edu/

  That's the one, and after watching the video again it's actually more clever than my "local echo" description even though it's part of it.

  I have used Mosh as my primary remote access client for a few months on my "on-the-go" laptop, and I must say that the user experience is very good. In a lot of scenarios, the latency is not much of an issue, but on wlan/3g, this very fast become very noticeable. In the few cases since, I've used ssh on wireless, I suddenly find myself noticing how much of an issue the sudden feedback delay might be at some times.

    Not only is mosh great for latency, but it's also great for laptops because of IP roaming. These days I have a dedicated Terminal window with a permanent Mosh session to my Linode. The Mosh session never shuts down (unless I'm rebooting), no matter how often I put my laptop to sleep, or go between home and work.

      Indeed. The only obvious downside to Mosh I've seen so far, is that a lot of enterprisy firewalls tend to block UDP traffic.
