Along these lines, I've tried using the terminal emulator called 'ate'    
packaged with AIX 3.1.  It interprets CTRL-B for toggling file capture, and 
CTRL-V for escaping to a main menu after establishing a connection.  Well vi 
also uses these sequences, so when I'm editing files remotely,  vi never sees 
any of these commands and I'm constantly toggling file capture. 

Anybody know how to work around this problem?
