I wonder if anyone out there uses ssh through the emacs shell. I am able to connect with the remote machine but I cannot open files to view/edit with emacs using 'emacs filename' as the 'Terminal type "dumb" is not powerful enough to run emacs' (normally emacs would open within the console when connecting through the terminal).
Is this a bad idea to try to use emacs in such a way, or is this possible with a few fixes? Thanks much!
I have been struggling with Xming, which works, but as my internet connection is not the fastest I have to wait more 30 seconds before emacs or any X app even shows up. Also scrolling through a buffer after it has been opened will freeze from time to time => Very annoying
Try No machine (nxserver-freenx server/client). There are free edition servers, absolute the best and fastest solution when you want to connect to a Linux box and use xterm and emacs over X. It shows up immediately and responds so fast. Even over a really slow connection :-) Clients are available for Windows, Mac OS, Linux
