We've had very good luck here with various versions of JOVE, Jonathan's Own
Version of Emacs. I went from using honest to gods full-blown GNU-EMACS
to using JOVE in 10 minutes, and was pleased by the better speed and 
*lack* of oddball features. (Who needs their editor to play tower
of hanoi, for gods' sake? You'd think it was an X windows!) The 
teachjove program is also nice, and the use of Ctrl-\ rather than Ctrl-s
gives stupid modems and terminals a better fighting chance.

I believe JOVE resides at uunet.uu.net. Good stuff.
