I remember hearing a presentation about their packet protocols and was
impressed how well-tailored it was for the specific terminal traffic it
supported.

I especially liked reference to a pacman-like function.  When the user
hit control-c, the packet that got sent ate any preceding terminal
traffic that it encountered along the way to the server...
