Ideally (at least for now) what I'd like would be to have a copy of emacs running on a computer somewhere where we'd log in via shell accounts, and then we'd e.g. fire up an emacsclient and all get access to that emacs's state. It seems to be insinuated that (or anyway I've imagined) emacsclient can actually do this. (Cf. this thread: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2005-08/msg00226.html) Is this the case? Can emacsclient be used by multiple users to access the same emacs through a shell? Or, if not emacsclient, can anyone suggest a good solution?
