+Mosh is a remote terminal application that allows roaming, supports 
+intermittent connectivity, and provides intelligent local echo and line 
+editing of user keystrokes.
+
+Mosh attempts to improve on SSH by being more robust and responsive, 
+especially over Wi-Fi, cellular, and long-distance links.
+
+Mosh requires a little tweaking after first install on Slackware. Both 
+the Mosh server and client applications must be run with a a UTF-8 
+locale, which is not Slackware's default.
+
+To configure your client to work in a UTF-8 locale you should refer to 
+Slackware documentation.
+
+For the server (remotehost), Mosh gets its locale setting from the 
+client that is conecting to it. Slackware's SSH client and server do not 
+send and receive locale information in their default configuration (SSH 
+is used bootstrap the Mosh connection). Assuming that you have 
+configured the client to use a UTF-8 locale you can work around this by 
+connecting to the remotehost as follows:
+
+$ mosh remotehost --server="LANG=$LANG mosh-server"
+
+To avoid having to do this every time add 'SendEnv LANG LC_COLLATE' to 
+/etc/ssh/ssh_config (on the client) and 'AcceptEnv LANG LC_COLLATE' to 
+/etc/ssh/sshd_config (on the remotehost) and then restart the server's 
+SSH daemon.
+
+Mosh depends on protobuf and perl-IO-Tty.
