Well, I thought that might be the case, that's why I said it
was a
long shot.  I just wanted to make sure you knew about
screen, in case
you couldn't use detachtty simply because it wasn't
installed.

I do not, no.

Actually, I take it back.  Has anyone mentioned that you can
connect
and disconnect multiple times with Slime?  I believe you can
configure
the Lisp-side Swank process to run in a separate thread, but
even if
it can't or you can't for some reason, you could probably
replicate
the attach/detach tty functionality, and have all of Slime,
too.  Just
a thought; I'm not really that familiar with Slime, much
less doing
this sort of thing with it.  Check with the Slime folks.
