I used this many years ago but under X11 environment.
If you use X, (it works under X11R5...),
you type this in your .xserverrc file:
X -ar1 _value_ -ar2 _value_
where
_value_ of -ar1 is the time waiting before repeating the key
_value_ of -ar2 is the time between 2 repeatitions
(!!! the difference between these 2 numbers is not very clear...)
Example
X -ar1 200 -ar2 100
The _value_ are in /100 of seconde... Then, in my example, it means
2 sec. and 1 sec.

Under X11 or OpenWindows, this is o problem with xset. As a dumb
terminal, I don't know.

If you do "man Xsun" you should find it documented.
