That reminds me... weird experience with a D-Link DSL router recently:

I can't ssh out through it, with openssh. Everything looks fine, except
openssh hangs (apparently forever) after I enter my password.

Putty, however, works fine.

This applies whether the machine I'm sshing from is Windows (Putty for
Windows, openssh in cygwin) or Linux (Putty for Unix, native openssh).

It's bugging me because putty falls over whenever I try to apt-get
update through a http proxy at the other end of an ssh tunnel (too
many rapid-fire http/ftp connections, I'm guessing) - so I'd really
like to get openssh working.

Any ideas, folks? Thanks in advance...
