I think LBX (Low Bandwith X) does something similar to this for X
Windows sessions.  It doesn't help you if you don't have an X server
at the other end, though.

I wrote a (cringe-worthy) document for how to use LBX compression for
X sessions over ssh tunnelling some time ago.  It's at
<http://studenthelp.itee.uq.edu.au/remote/lbx.html>.  (It was
originally plain text--the formatting isn't mine.)
