Does anybody have a good solution for running server mode under Sys-V
without X windows?  I would like to be able to shell out of emacs to
run "rn" or whatever, and use the server to edit my news postings.
The problem that I have is that suspend-emacs puts emacs to sleep, so
calling emacsclient just hangs.  I can't run "rn" or "vnews" through a
inferior shell because emacs tries to post-process the output.  (Also,
a process can't open /dev/tty since it is attached to a pty)

"shl" doesn't work either, because the swtch (^Z) is masked be emacs.

Any help would be great!
