Subject: emacsclient should work like "emacsclient -t" when $DISPLAY is not set

When connecting to a host which runs "emacs --daemon"  with "ssh -x" (so $DISPLAY is not set)


$ emacsclient FILENAME 

says "Waiting for Emacs..." and does not open any frame.

It should instead work like "emacsclient -t FILENAME" and open a
terminal frame.

Thanks. I get the same too, I might have had an old emacsclient in my path, so
closing this bug.
