I think I gave the example somewhere else in this thread, but I'd be 
looking to connect to something like:

/cwithers:root@somehost.somedomain:/blah

Why do I need cwithers? Because my local account is "Chris Withers" on 
the windows box where emacs lives, and my username on the remote machine 
is not always the same, it depends on the box (it can be chris, chrisw, 
cwithers, etc... I don't have control over that)

One other wishlist item would be for tab complete or to be able to build 
a menu of the common hosts I want to connect to, typing 
"server1.simplistix.co.uk" is tiresome...

cheers,

Chris
