My first email experience was over a 2400 bps link, which was perfectly usable. In this case its just for rescuing a VM that is not working properly, most administration will be via ssh so the bitrate is not all that relevant. I just would rather not learn ed right now :) Eventually the VM will be on a box that does not have X, in fact I will not even have physical access to it. I need to be up early so I will do more troubleshooting later today.
