I think it might be a bit of a security risk to have emacs listen
directly on a network socket.  A workaround you can use, however, is
to execute emacsclient on the remote machine through an rsh (or a
shell window to the other machine if you like).  For automagic
emacsclient calls, you will probably have to go the rsh route.  A
little slower, but once you get the faster emacs open on your file,
you should make it up...
