running "mosh username@host". No need to spawn mosh-server and -client
manually.

Mosh is a Remote terminal application that allows roaming, supports
intermittent connectivity, and provides intelligent local echo and
line editing of user keystrokes.
Mosh is a replacement for SSH. It's more robust and responsive,
especially over Wi-Fi, cellular, and long-distance links.
