Hello,
I'm currently using epoch & emacs on a Sparc station.

Since a couple of weeks I'm able to work from home via modem 
connection.

Now I wonder if it is possible to build up a similiar environment 
like epoch on my home PC. 
For those who are interested, I consider using Turbo-Vision as a 
convenient window interface.

The main problem  that shows up in this respect : Is it possible in
emacs to switch between different buffers without actually 
redisplaying them.
You see, I may have buffers of some tens of kbyte, which should only 
be transmitted only once. (otherwise it is too slow).

So, what do I want ? 

If I switch to another buffer (C-k b), the emacs should
only send an acknowledge string, whatsoever it may be, and then 
continue.

This is quite fundamental, if there is no solution, the whole thing 
has to be abandone.

Any ideas are welcome.
