What kind of bandwidth do your users have? e.g., right now I am using emacs over ssh to a friends box, where the limiting bandwidth is 128kbits/s (that's the upstream dsl on the remote end.), and I find it usable. However if your users will be comming in via modem, IMO, modern emacs is no longer usable over modem (though older emmacs were). _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
