It sounds like you are in "character at a time" modd and are sending
individual packets for each letter typed. You need to go to line mode.
After establishing the connection, type ctrl-] and type "mode line"
which will put you in the line mode. The keystrokes will be echoed
locally and the packet won't be sent until you type a <CR>.
The telnet man page talks about this.
