What is your mru/mtu settings ... settings of something like 1500 will
really screw up a telnet connection. I use 1006 with good result but I
have a lot of traffic. Try 296.
A smaller mru/mtu will allow packets to be sent after accumulating less
data. You might not be able to specify the MRU/MTU, it might be forced by
the other end. If you use an MRU/MTU of 1500, it will not send a packet
until 1500 bytes are accumulated or until it times out waiting for data
and pads the rest of the packet with 0's.
