Marcelo,

It hangs during the session. Once I'm logged in and beginning to type it displays 3-5 chars and then hangs for up to 15 minutes, a few more chars, wait, and so on.
Checked my resolv.conf; added 'options single-request-reopen' though I don't know if that is helping.

Yes it is weird; even more that individual commands sent with ssh gives immediate respons.

Thanks
Patrick
