A console emacs doesn't have to be so bad.
- the "backspace invokes help"-issue goes away after "stty erase '^?'"
- you can get more than 16 colors on the console in xterm or rxvt, see
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/XTermColors
- xterm-mouse-mode allows you to use your favourite pointing device
I have to admit that you don't get a tool bar and the menu looks a bit
ugly. But then, who needs these, anyway? 8-)
The primary advantage of using emacs in a remote terminal instead of
forwarded via X is speed - forwarding an X client over a WAN might
feel sluggish.
Maybe you should consider using a local emacs and TRAMP to access
your remote files.
Regards,
Anselm
