This is how you do it in emacs:

(defun my-make-myothercomputer-frame ()
  "This function opens a frame on myothercomputer"
  (interactive)
  (make-frame '((top . 0) (left . 0) (width . 88) (height . 28)
		(display . "myothercomputer:0.0") (font . "7x14")
		(menu-bar-lines . 0) (vertical-scroll-bars . nil))))

(global-set-key [C-S-f10] 'my-make-myothercomputer-frame)

Where myothercomputer is your 1.1.1.1 etc or a hostname.  In general
the program "vnc" purports to do this (I've installed it but haven't
gotten around to trying it)
