[ESS] remote R execution via tramp hangs

Thanks for your reply. No Buffer is created. I only see some messages in 
the "message buffer" on the bottom left and it freezes after the 
"opening connection ..." message. C- g seems to stop process of starting 
R (i.e. the message disappears and emacs is responsive again). This is 
not getting R started, however. Is there any way (i.e. logs) to find out 
what causes this error?
