This has probably been asked and answered before, but ...

I use a TB+ in PEP mode on a VT100-emulating terminal.  Screen refreshes are
always "jerky": they begin with a short burst of a few dozen characters, a
brief but annoying pause, another slightly longer burst, another pause, and
then the rest of the screen fills smoothly and quickly.  The problem is
especially annoying when screen-editing, since most transmissions are
short and so composed almost entirely of bursts and pauses.

I've tried various combinations of protocols, compression or not, interface
speeds, etc, and nothing helps.  Is this behavior intrinsic to PEP; is there
something I can do about it?
