I ran into a similar problem using ACCELL/UNIFY over a local network.

As a quick solution, I wrote a small filter to run on the target host which
copied input characters until it saw the start of an escape sequence. It
then waited until the rest of the sequence had arrived, before passing the
full sequence as a single write.  Ugly, but did the job.
