ps - i'd suggest starting maxima and the slime server from a terminal
and not within emacs.

pps - this is all assuming your lisp is multithreaded. things become
more complicated on a single thread lisp. [basically: start lisp,
create swank server, connect to swank server, make sure
*debugger-hook* is #'swank:debugger-hook, start maxima, wait for
maxima to drop you into a debugger and work from there]. this isn't
nearly as nice as having a full fleged repl, but might be enough.
