So far I've just been doing ssh user@host Then run emacsclient on the remote... but of course I'm then limited to a console emacs. ssh to linux from opensolaris and then running emacs has a number of problems that need solving for that to be handy. I guess having to do with what shell you are in and `stty' setting and other things I haven't thought of. At any rate a console emacs arrived at that way is a pain in the but to use. Its fine for normal file/directory work... but I want to access an emacs/gnus session running on the remote emacs-server. And I want the emacsclient to run in X on the localhost. Both remote and localhost are running X. The end result I'm after is to be able to access an emacs/gnus session that is running on a specific host from any of several hosts on the home lan. Someway... I want to end up with an emacsclient running in X and connected to a server on remotehost.
