If you are willing to build emacs 23 from cvs, MultiTTY support is now
part of the main cvs trunk and would enable an additional approach.

More information here:

http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/MultiTTYSupport

See the usage examples linked there.


There is also a pending patch for emacs 23.1 that will enable a
'--daemon' option on the command line, so that emacs will be able to
essentially run as a background service.

HTH,
