With the following file you'll be able to have ClusterSSH like experience from within Emacs and some term buffers.

The <tt>cssh.el</tt> offer those bindings:

* C-=       asks remote hostname then opens a term and ssh to it
* C-=       from IBuffer mode opens ClusterSSH controler on marked buffers
* C-u C-=   asks for the name of the ClusterSSH controler buffer
* C-M-=     matches given regexp against ssh <tt>known_hosts</tt> and open buffers in which ssh <remote> is typed
* C-u C-M-= asks for a name before 

While in the <tt>* cssh *</tt> controler buffer, you're in line mode. Free typing will not impact any <tt>term.el</tt> buffer until you hit one of those keys:
* RET    sends current line (skipping the prompt) to all controlled terms
* C-c    sends C-c to all controlled terms
* C-d    sends C-d to all controlled terms    
* C-l    sends C-l to all controlled terms
* [up]   sends up to all controlled terms
* [down] sends down to all controlled terms
* [tab]  sends current line content to all controlled terms, then a tab (C-i)

And those special keys for the mode to be more than practical:
* C-=  reopens the windows, so you can switch to full screen other buffers etc and get back to your controller and its terms
* C-!  send the ssh command to log to remote places to all buffers, in case your emacs buffers live for more time than the ssh connection they host


*NOTE:* In Emacs < 22, requires package http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/pcmpl-ssh.el
