At least versions 18.5[12] will work under sysV with FIFOs if you define HAVE_SVIPC. You still need a windowing system but it will work (for example) on the AT&T 3b1 console windows. You can start the server in one full-screen window, suspend it and go to anther session where you invoke "emacsclient file(s). Then you jump back to the server session where the file will already be open for you. The same technique should work on other machines that have multiple virtual consoles or real windowing systems.
