The Super User answer 868517:

Bash script:

IFS=
(
counter=0
while true
do
    echo $counter
    sleep 1
    ((counter++))
done
) | { x=1; while IFS= read -d'' -s -N 1 char; do
  [ $x ] && printf "Remote: "
  printf "$char"
  unset x
  [ "$char" == "
" ] && x=1
done; }

Output:

Remote: 0
Remote: 1
Remote: 2
...
