Ah, VMS PHONE.

Where the other party's typing skills (or lack thereof) are on full display.

As for the character-at-a-time display, iChat can provide something like that. On Mac OS X circa 10.6, select iChat > Accounts > select an account > and check the Send text as I type checkbox.

Again - it sends it in 'chunks' of 5 or 10 chars at a time, which is not what I want.
