This just verifies what I said weeks ago.

On the client side:

## several packets are lost here due to congestion, thanks to
TCP_NODELAY:

15:28:09.879928 transwarp.tao.org.uk.telnet > genius.tao.org.uk.kpop: P 609:641(32) ack 64 win 33304
15:28:09.881926 transwarp.tao.org.uk.telnet > genius.tao.org.uk.kpop: P 993:1025(32) ack 64 win 33304

## client only acks up to 641 after this: 

15:28:09.881964 genius.tao.org.uk.kpop > transwarp.tao.org.uk.telnet: . ack 641 win 33304

On the server side:

15:28:18.291734 genius.kpop > transwarp.telnet: . ack 641 win 33304

## server resends 641:1057 after a timer expired, 1 second seems long?

15:28:19.288745 transwarp.telnet > genius.kpop: P 641:1057(416) ack 64 win 33304

Conclusion: This is a OpenSSH problem, not a FreeBSD problem.
