You have to start the swank-side on machine A with :dont-close t,
e.g. via setting swank:*dont-close* before calling swank:start-server.

After that, you can also `slime-connect' from an Emacs on A to that
process. (You can discover the port you've got to connect via
`slime-list-connections' on B.)

I think this should do the trick,
