Well not all machines have emacs for one.  But try this.

M-X terminal-emulator
(return when you it asks if you want /bin/csh)
vi 	[run vi in the terminal emulator]
	[gee it works!]
me  	[run me in the terminal emulator]
	[emacs complains of incomplete termcap entry]
emacs 	[run emacs in the terminal emulator]
	[it works but is SLOW]
	[now rlogin into another favorite computer that has emacs]
emacs 	[run emacs in the terminal emulator but on another machine]
	[says emacs-virtual undefined]
setenv TERMCAP ... [goback and steal the $TEMRCAP the the above emacs had]
	[Doesn't seem to work]

Now if you could put an entry in /etc/termcap say emacs-virtual that
was complete then maybe we would have something.
