I start Emacs at work and let it (X11) display on my home machine.
I have a dynamic ip address.  Thus, when the ISDN thingy hangs up on
me, the Emacs session is disrupted rather rudely.

Thus, I want the connection to stay open (even if it costs money)
while I stare at a program started interactively, but I also want the
ability to hang up the phone when I feel like it.

I'm open to other suggestions, though -- maybe there's something wrong
with my thinking.
