Unixware 7 curses/tcp loses characters ?

I have a program (binary) that ran well on UW 2.1 but on UW 7.1.4. characters are lost somewhere on the tcp/ip highway to my TUN emul.
I mean, it is clear that what is on the screen is not what curses thinks there is.
If I "tee" the program while running it (which probable slows down things ?), everything seems to be ok again.
It is also ok when I login from another unix with rlogin, but again not anymore with simple telnet.
Bizarre... Help ?

tcp-env(1)                                                    General Commands Manual                                                   tcp-env(1)

NAME
tcp-env - set up TCP-related environment variables SYNOPSIS
tcp-env [ -rR ] [ -ttimeout ] program [ arg ... ] DESCRIPTION
The input for tcp-env must be a TCP connection. tcp-env finds out information about that connection, puts the information into several environment variables as described in tcp-environ(5), and runs program with the given arguments. Usually tcp-env is run from inetd. It might instead be run from another server that already sets up the right environment variables; if PROTO is set to TCP when tcp-env is invoked, tcp-env assumes that all the other variables are set up properly, and it does not check whether the input is a TCP connection. OPTIONS
-r (Default.) Attempt to obtain TCPREMOTEINFO from the remote host. -R Do not attempt to obtain TCPREMOTEINFO from the remote host. -ttimeout Give up on the TCPREMOTEINFO connection attempt after timeout seconds. Default: 30. SEE ALSO
