SSH isn't the only protocol supported by Tramp (from what I hear, it's actually a late addition). Essentially, if you can get somehow get a shell on a remote machine, you can make Tramp work with it.

It might be possible to get tramp working over a serial line (while still being able to use the same shell, though?), or over telnet, but practically I'd probably just type "vi" to quickly edit a file.

Again, I'm saying that as someone who uses tramp-mode all the time, otherwise.
