There seems to be in sco a typeahead buffner, and not on the freebsd. What I mean is if you use a program often enough to be able to type all the keystrokes to a goal in advance, you can do it on sco but not on freebsd - its like its flushed out at the next input. Is this something configurable? or just an aspect of the difference in tcp/ip implementations?
