That's it. `call-process' does not support remote files.

I've just checked in Emacs 29, ispell.el is still using
`call-process'. Somebody who knows this package shall adapt, using
either `process-file', or working on a temporary local copy of the file
to be spelled. Or perhaps the latter is already implemented, don't know.

Best regards, Michael.
