Persistent Remote Emacs/GNU screen conflict

[Denis Bueno]

I'd like to be able to keep an Emacs process persistent across ssh
connections and such. In the past I've used GNU screen, which works
great, but a keybinding commonly used in Emacs, C-a, conflicts with
one of screen's bindings.

Has anyone discovered either a way of configuring screen or an
alternative to screen which solves this problem?
