A combination of Stuart (or Terminal) and Kermit will work.  The only hitch is
that the screen size is not automaticly sent over the kermit connection.  You
will need to tell the system running EMACS how big your screen is.  Stuart
makes this easy by giving you the size of the window in the title bar.

The unix stty command is used to tell the system the size of the screen.

	stty rows n   (where n is the number of lines in the terminals display)

"stty size" will report what size the system thinks the screen is.  Variations
on BSD UNIX, ATT UNIX, and other operating systems like VMS, use different
commands to set the size of the screen.
