You may not need it, but a lightweight window manager like WindowMaker
fvwm or maybe a tiling WM like awesome may be worth a second look.  Have
a look here:

That can be made to work (I've blissfully forgotten how to since it's
been ages that I had to use a serial terminal line), but there is a bit
of cooperation required between the terminal emulation and Emacs (it
likely is the terminal that currently does not send those Meta/Shift
combination events to Emacs).  More importantly, using just the terminal
you will soon want to use something like screen, which again likes to
claim its own keyboard handling and adds more interference.  Which gets
us back to that point that maybe you really just want a different WM
instead of using the virtual terminal emulations.
