server or Netscape buffer data before send / printin out

Hello,

I am writing a CGI application for a conferencing WWW system.  I need the 
server to send and the client to output small portions of data as they 
become awailable.  But, the I ran in to the following problem:  the data 
gets printed on the screen only by accumulated chanks of approximate size 
3700K (or end of connection of course).  I do not know whether the server 
holds the output from the script until it accumulates a packet of 3700K 
or the Netscape does it.

I played with header fields, ex. Content-Length: XXX, but in vain.

Does anyone know what: the client or the server, hold the data, and how 
can I change the size of the packet to be sent?

We are running NCSA httpd_1.4.1 and Netscape 1.1N

Thank you very much.  David.
