You need an X server on all the machines. It is also only for people who REALLY trust each other. Once you give someone an emacs frame on their display, you also give them a shell. They can do anything you can do. They are logged in as you. auto-revert-mode is almost real time. You can set it to revert every second if you like. It slows a bit with NFS mounting. But, people won't see your edits instantly as you do them. And it's best for one writer at a time. Last write wins.
