You can definitely use tramp with Emacs 22.  [I've been using it ever
since it became part of the CVS tree of Emacs 22, before it was actually
released as Emacs 22.1.]

The only caveat is that it is now part of Emacs itself, so if you are
using a custom installation of tramp for Emacs 21.X it may be worth
*removing* the custom local tramp package from the default load-path;
this way the default tramp package that is now part of Emacs will take
over and it should Just Work(TM) out of the box.
