I'll be interested to know ANY emacs which can talk to multiple displays
(and will switch to it from Epoch right away.)  If all you need to do is to
talk to a non-local server, you should check the X connection by trying
another client, say, xterm first.  If it doesn't work, you can't blame
Epoch :-).  In any case, you can either un-set your DISPLAY or use epoch
-nw, which will then invoke the standard ASCII emacs.

P.S. I'll dump epoch whenever efs becomes available or Lucid emacs comes up
with an ASCII version.
