Never mind the modem, how do you use vim on a touch screen keyboard? Half of the important keys are missing.

The on-screen keyboard is very close to a regular ANSI keyboard. It has ESC, CTRL, TAB, ALT, :, etc. If you really wanted to you could use Emacs with the default keybindings.

When running Android, you can also install keyboards featuring all needed keys, one of the first was Hacker's Keyboard which lives on as a layout pack for AnySoftKeyboard or more recent, CleverKeys.
