I use it with TRAMP for that successfully. I'm just a little irked that this one script works in emacs-eshell and emacs-term but not emacs-comint It also works just fine at the shell > This would indicate there is > nothing inherent to comint that prevents multiple instances.

I dont think I said that comint wouldnt do that. It's just a requirement of whatever else I use to replace comint (since comint also does it)
