This function's name is too general, and therefore will confuse
someone who tries to learn how server.el works.  Please name it
according to the convention used by 2 other functions in server.el
that create GUI and TTY frames.

Btw, why can't you use server-create-tty-frame here?  IOW, I don't
think I understand this comment:

> +                   ((equal tty-type "dumb")
> +                    ;; Dumb terminals should create frames without
> +                    ;; preference for tty or window system (bug#25547)
> +                    (server-create-frame nowait proc frame-parameters))

Thanks.
