I know there is quite a lot of information on how to connect to remote
email sessions but a lot of it is old I think.
I wondered if some could post a brief outline of how that is done.
Just the needed steps and tools involved.

If you use multi-tty version of emacs and a server is running on this
emacs , you can use:
,----
| emacsclient -t
`----
To run a server on emacs:
,----
| (server-start)
`----

I guess I'm not understanding how this is supposed to work. I'm
looking for a way to ssh into a box1 running emacs-23 with the server
running, then in my ssh terminal box2, I want to use emacsclient to
edit something or more likely I'd like be able to to connect to a gnus
session box1 emacs is having.
Or at least be able to turn off the gnus session with something
besides kill -TERM $pidtoemacs
Box1 is running emacs-23 the server and gnus
The best way I have to test it right now is
from box1 ssh to box2. fron box2 ssh back to box1 and in the ssh
session try to test this out.
What happens when I run emacsclient -t somefile is I get a horrible
puce background with wheat foreground and syntax coloring that is
useless and partially invisible due to poor choice of colors.
Will I have to adjust every detail or is there some global way to tell
emacs to use sensible colors for terminal imulation window.
And how do I get to the gnus session?

Via the DISPLAY environment variable?

I must be pretty dense but I'm not getting how that is done.
Can you describe in some detail how to accomplish this:
Box1 is running emacs-23 in X with server turned on and gnus session
started
box2 no x environment - ssh's to box1 and wants to connect to the
ongoing gnus session running in emacs.
What does user on box2 need to do?

Launch X11 and make SSH forward X11 connections.
Another option could be to use a socket for communication. Isn't this
all described in the documentation?

I just tested this.
If you have an emacs already running, make sure to run (server-start).
ssh to that box
in the ssh session run:
:; emacsclient -t
that will create a TTY frame. Then you can just switch to the *Group*
buffer and use Gnus as usual.
When done, use C-x 5 0 to close the frame (just like closing an X11 frame).
The -t option can also be spelled --tty.

If you mean emacsclient documentation then no... I saw no mention of
ssh or gnus in there.
