[plug] Looking for assistance with a recent Debian upgrade

[Dean Bergin]

Hello Joe,

Have you tried SSH with the IPQoS throughout option? The following article
suggested it (follow link from the post therein).

Also, try increasing SSH verbosity with more  v's ;-)

Hope that helps.


Kind Regards,

*Dean Bergin*.
