I think I just found and solved this problem in CVS.  Xastir was set
up in port_write() to always send one character per write()
invocation and then to wait a bit before sending the next character.

That sort of operation is ok for spacing out the characters when
talking to a serial TNC, but not when communicating over sockets.

I changed the code so that it operates differently between the two
classes of devices.  You should see a full message (or more) per
packet transmitted over ethernet now.
