screen

[prog]

My new best friend is screen -D -R. Why did it take me six years of laptop use to discover it?

I used to use screen all the time, but I haven't used it since I started using VNC. But come to think of it, screen might be better for low-bandwidth situations when VNC is kind of a pain (like at times during the hunt, although I did manage to do some Scheme programming in my home XEmacs via VNC to help out with the Da Vinci code puzzle).
