Yes - screen *can* hold everything until you hit enter and allow you to edit the line and do wrapping clientside. Screen also handles control codes properly. I just tried to find the exact settings but drew a blank. It doesn't do local line editing by default. Local editing should be okay with a normal device but it will not work well if your board runs Linux.
