Thanks Leif. Guess I should have checked ssh connection from linux box
first. I just ssh'd into soldotna using ssh client rather than putty, and
it worked, slow, but it worked. So it wasn't a network problem after all,
but some kind of problem with the putty client on this particular
connection/machine.
Chris.
