Had to perform the same job on a bunch of nodes. ClusterSSH[1] is what
people usually use to do this job. I didn't have it available, but
dvtm[2] was.
When run as "DVTM_TERM=xterm dvtm" (dvtm's terminfo was not installed
on those nodes), dvtm does a pretty good job at multiplexing input to
multiple nodes: Each keystroke is sent to each node simultaneously.
Plus, my knowledge of ed(1) came in handy (once more).
