You can't use it from a 3270 console because the required cursor movement
control is not in the console driver. It can't draw characters where it
wants to. So use SSH or telnet to login. Once you have a remote shell, vi
should work properly.
If you're using telnet from a Windows system, Linux may not detect your
terminal type properly. Type "echo $TERM" to see what it thinks your
terminal type is. If there is no output, try doing "export TERM=vt100"
before running vi. Windows will handle the VT100 cursor movement sequences.
Are you having a specific problem with vi?
