I am using the UW terminal emulator (version 4.2) on a Macintosh, which
emulates an adm 31.  The Mac is connected (through a dial-up line and two
rlogins) to a vax running BSD 4.3.  On the vax, I am running the "uw"
server to get multiple virtual terminals, and I am running GNU Emacs
18.52.1 in one of those sessions.
   Here's the problem.  If type several C-f (move cursor right) characters
or several blanks, the cursor moves very slowly to the right.  There seems
to be a one-second delay between each movement to the right.
   This problem has occurred for me with C-f in previous versions of Emacs,
although I do not remember it happening with spaces.  The problem does not
occur when I use the "l" command in vi.
   Why is this happening?  How do I make it stop?  Does this happen with
the Atari UW version?
   Just in case, here's the termcap entry, retrieved with "printenv"
