When you're logged in to the remote machine, type this:
echo $TERM
If the remote machine doesn't understand your terminal type, vi won't be able to "find it's way around your screen"...
You could always fall back on "export $TERM=vt100" before you run vi... see if that helps.

MACTELNET(1) General Commands Manual MACTELNET(1)
NAME
mactelnet - A tool for telneting via MAC addresses
SYNOPSIS
mactelnet [options] <MAC-Address|hostname>
DESCRIPTION
This tool enables you to telnet other RouterOS or MAC-Telnetd enabled devices. You can connect to either a hostname or a MAC address. If
specified, the hostname (identity) will be looked up via MNDP discovery.
OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax. A summary of options is included below.
-n Do not use broadcast packets. A tad less insecure but requires root privileges. This means that ethernet packets will have the
specified mac-address as the packet destination, instead of using the ethernet broadcast address.
-t Amount of seconds to wait for a response on each interface. If you have several network interfaces, this is the timeout value per
interface.
-u Specify username. Without this option, you will need to enter the username in a interactive prompt.
-p Specify password. Without this option, you will need to enter the password in a interactive prompt.
-h Show summary of options.
-v Show version of program.
