1/1 I'm using SecureCRT over a 33.6 modem to connect to soda, and my
connection consistently is reset after typing just a few
characters (for instance, I couldn't type this post using it).
I've tried ssh 1 & 2; 3des, rc4, and blowfish; and several
different server types, with no improvement. Why is this
happening?
\_ SecureCRT does that with DSL connections for me. Not that bad
but enough for me to curse it or windows.
\_ Could be flaky modem connections or so--although that usually
happens with v.90 (56.6k)--doesn't ssh have some sort of error
checking to make sure no funny business is going on with your
connection? I would try to bring down the connection speed to
1200 and then gradually increase it and see what happens. Also
for fun try another ssh client like TeraTerm to compare. -John
\_ Try putty, it works better than SecCRT on dialup lines (at least
that was my experience when I was in India and had to deal with
the dial up lines there).
\_ putty? barf! Putty was dropping me from a rock solid T1 line.
This is definitely what they meant by "get what you pay for"
when it comes to software. Tera Term takes an extra 30 seconds
to setup, is free, and unlike putty, it works. I'd rather go
back to whistling in the phone then use putty.
\_ I use putty on both T1 and dial-ups. It never drops any
connctions.
\_ I've used SecureCRT on dial-up and over cable and, with the
exception of campus network outtages, have never had problems. |
