Nice find Peter. Interesting that it is over UDP ... like OpenVPN. OpenVPN is also worth looking into for similar persistent secure connectivity applications.

"Mosh" (http://mosh.mit.edu/) sounds very useful:

"SSH is a wonderful thing, but it doesn't deal very well with today's mobile workers. When dealing with iffy Wi-Fi connections, moving around from coffeeshop to home office, or just putting your laptop to sleep for a few minutes, you lose your SSH connection. If you need a persistent connection, take a look at Mosh."

Not just available for the latest Ubuntu (and other Linux distros), but also for versions starting with 10.04, via a separate ppa: http://mosh.mit.edu/#getting
