octave through a remote connection

[Francesco Potorti`]

I use octave through a remsh connection like this:

remsh sable octave

so I can run it on a remote machine and have the output in an emacs
buffer.  Unfortunately, octave refuses to show its prompt.  Someone
knows how to make it display the prompt?  Emacs is not the culprit, as
the same things happen if I type "remsh sable octave" from the shell
prompt.
