Packet loss is the problem for sure. I am dumping on the server and
client side.

In 60Ms the server pushed out about 200 segments. My test writes
1 byte at a time on an existing ssh conection so the payload per
segment is small, 48 bytes. (48 + IP + TCP) * 200 is around 17KB
in 60Ms which probably overflowed the frame switch queue. The
client is on a fractional T1, the server is on a 10Mb -> OC3
connection 1200 network miles away.
Jonathan Lemon pointed out in the TCP Anomalies thread that slow
start seems to be broken.
