Asynchronous login?

[Garjola Dindi]

Hi,

I use the following pattern to open a shell on a remote host :

(let ((default-directory (concat "/ssh:" user "@" host ":" dir)))
    (shell name))

The issue I am facing is that emacs freezes during the login dialog
("Waiting for prompts from remote shell", etc). 

Is there a way to let this transaction run asynchronously?

Thanks for your help!

Garjola.
