The default one, ssh.

XEmacs syntax, i.e.:

C-x C-f /[machine.name]:~/ TAB TAB

etc. Using the Emacs syntax makes efs kick in instead of tramp.

XEmacs does not hang. Here are the contents of the *Backtrace* buffer:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-state "Bogus value for 
`default-process-coding-system'" nil)
   signal(invalid-state ("Bogus value for 
`default-process-coding-system'" nil))
   byte-code("..." [buf data kill-buffer signal] 3)
   find-file-noselect("/[ssh/dspmac2.elec.qmul.ac.uk]/Users/andrew/foo")
   mapcar(find-file-noselect 
("/[ssh/dspmac2.elec.qmul.ac.uk]/Users/andrew/foo"))
   find-file-noselect("/[dspmac2.elec.qmul.ac.uk]~/foo" nil nil t)
   #<compiled-function (filename &optional codesys wildcards) "...(53)" 
[coding-system-for-read wildcards filename codesys value

1033199 (list (read-file-name "Find file: ") (and current-prefix-arg 
...) t)>("/[dspmac2.elec.qmul.ac.uk]~/foo" nil t)
   call-interactively(find-file)

HTH,
