title: ssh through emacs shell?
body: <p>I wonder if anyone out there uses ssh through the emacs shell. I am able to connect with the remote machine but I cannot open files to view/edit with emacs using 'emacs filename' as the 'Terminal type "dumb" is not powerful enough to run emacs' (normally emacs would open within the console when connecting through the terminal). </p>
  
  <p>Is this a bad idea to try to use emacs in such a way, or is this possible with a few fixes? Thanks much!</p>
