It helps if you reduce the maximum packet size - that's easiest done on
the Unix end.

What I was thinking of doing was a variable maximum packet size with
an exponential rolloff. Thus if you start typing, the packet size would
go down to 20 or so, and stay there for about 20 seconds, then rapidly
advance towards 200.

I might supply diffs someday, but for now, "it's in the queue".
