The console in my BF utilities works this way if you enable the "fast
console" option :)

I wonder if that's related to why the remote console is so sluggish, 
echoing each character typed after a lot of delay? I'd rather see the 
client do line-buffering and send the whole shebang at once, allowing
the 
client to do fast client-side line-editing ala the NT console.
