         | in, and attach a tty to it from home (for reading mail/news).

       | The problem with many of these is the security of them. Giving

       | running as your account. I used rudel several years ago, which
       | synchronizes changes between server/client emacs sessions, rather
       | than sharing a single emacs session with multiple frames.
