That won't work.  You'd essentially be writting another command interpreter
that gets called before the main command interpreter with no change in the
way it performs.  The user still has to hit <cr> on his end to send his
buffer across the network.  AFAIK the only way you can handle this situation
is by having the user run a specific client program that handles raw output.
