I have no idea. I haven't ran Emacs in a console, let along through ssh,
in a couple of years. These days I connect to my machine with vnc
through an ssh tunnel. Maybe someone with more experience with emacs in
a console can help you. Alternatively, you might just want to bite the
bullet and use vnc.
