With an Emacs server active (M-x server-start), `emacsclient -t' creates a tty frame connected to the running emacs server. You can use any number of different ttys. `emacsclient -c' creates a new X11 frame on the current $DISPLAY (or a tty frame if $DISPLAY is not set). regards, Nikolaj Schumacher
