Exactly right.  You can also reattach from more than one connection at
once (with the -x switch), which is useful for having something follow
you around the house rather than being tied to a terminal.

Some programs have their own version of this; scr-bx for the BitchX IRC
client and gnuclient for emacs, for example.

- Chris.
