I am using ssh over a slow modem (28k, connects only at 14k because of a very noisy line). My problem is that the new ssh seems to handle output from programs differently from older versions. To be more precise, issuing "ipfw list" on a 10-rule firewall (mostly diverts to pipes, I also use ipfilter) takes noticeably longer than "ipfw list | cat". Also, a tcpdump on my tun0 interface shows three packets for "sleep 5;ipfw list|cat", and "sleep 5;ipfw list" gives over 50 packets (both cases counting ACKS). Is there a way to speed things up? The versions of ssh I am using are: local(client): OpenSSH_2.9 FreeBSD localisations 20010713 remote(server): OpenSSH_2.9 FreeBSD localisations 20010713 The server is running -STABLE cvsupped some 25 days ago, the client is cvsupped this week. Arguments to ssh were "-v -C -l username". Server only supports protocol version 2. Thanks!
