I think I have been down this path before, but it was a while ago and I cannot find any reference and I am not in a position to have a look at the srchives just at the moment.
When a user is logged into a rlogin, telnet, or ssh session over TCP sockets there is often the occasion that one stroke of the keyboard can produce a string of characters (Fkeys, arrow keys, etc) What is the best way to keep this string together in a given TCP packet instead of being split over 2 or 3 packets. The problem is that at the receiving end there could be a timing problem where if the string gets split over more than, say, 10 msec then it not considered to be the result of just one keypress, but is considered to be the result of a number of individual key presses and thus gets handled differently. -- Howard.
