A few thoughts -- there *have* to be existing ssh clients -- I remember BetterTelnet and similar for classic Mac OS.
Is it possible to set up an ssh server, then set up an SSH client that's scripted to ssh into the local machine? A bit of a hack, but as long as you aren't opening tons of terminals, it should provide you with a more reasonable environment without a tremendous amount of work on your part.
Your point about xdvi is well-taken too. Why is xdvi so much faster than gv? Is it *that* much easier to render DVIs than postscript files? Second, I'd suggest rxvt over xterm. Rxvt is the end-all be-all of terminals. It's extremely fast (try catting 50 megs of text in a couple terminals and time it -- it'll win), very lightweight (less RAM usage than any other terminal I know of) and has all the features anyone could possibly use. Oh, and it lets you compile out features that you definitely aren't going to use during runtime. Nice bit of software.

I work at the campus computer store at UC Berkeley and we haven't been able to order 15" displays from Apple for a while now, maybe 3 months. They're no longer selling them. You may be able to find something left over in the distribution channels but I doubt it since its been so long since they stopped selling them.
