telnet & packet size

Environment: macintosh using mac241 or NCSA telnet or Brown connecting to
	     host HP9000/832 or HP9000/817.

Problem:     One character per packet from (mac) not host via the
	     wide-area-network. With ten users on the system they take up 
	     ~60% of capacity of WAN.           

Question:    Is there anyway to configure either the drivers of tcp/ip
	     or the telnet software itself (mac side) to only send a packet
	     when a newline or tab character is input?
	     This would dramatically reduce the # of packets
	     and would fit the application nicely!
             
	     The application is made to run on any 'dumb' terminal.
	     Yes I've thought about client/server and distributed,
	     but this would be a quick invisible solution to a
	     system that is already in place.
						  
Any and All replies are appreciated!!!
