Not all rlogins have this problem, apparently.  The rlogin on my
sun3/v3.2 passes meta to my vax/Ultrix1.2, and to itself, but the
Vax/Ultrix rlogin won't pass it.  It seems that this has been fixed in
recent releases somewhere.

The mapping META- to ESC  won't do just the right thing in
all cases - if you have the habit of terminating isearches with a
meta-character, you will find the ESC terminates the search and the
next character is inserted (or otherwise interpreted according to its
binding).
