No, use ex. It's the command line version of vi. All your vi keystrokes work but you don't need a full screen. ed has different commands. On the latency note, I've use dxpc in the past with some success. It compresses the X11 protocol instead of the data stream. X11 is very chatty so DXPC (Differential X Protocol Compressor) usually works better then running standard compression (ssh -C) on the line. Of course nowadays I have a 15/2 Fios connection. I used to have a 14.4kmodem and yes, you can run X over it. Slowly. I think I'm too spoiled to ever do it again.
