I'm having a curious problem communicating with a remote site of mine.
I can access the site with "ssh -Y alfred-vpn" without any problem.
But then any command, eg cat, vim, tail,
that gives more than a minimal response,
causes the connection to hang, that is, to cease accepting any input,
and I see no way to revive the connection
except to kill the sshd entry from another ssh connection to the site,
or else just to close the local window.

For example, "sudo tail -9 /var/log/messages" works,
but not if I replace 9 with 20.[tim@alfred ~]$ ifconfig tun0

Different MTU and fragmentation disabled?

Thanks for your response.
But the MTU seems to be 1500 at both ends
(unless the modem at the remote end can change it?)

that may be true, but we have a cisco router from out ISP
which does not like this on a 100Mbit fiber connection

i had to reduce the MTU for openvpn to 1472 on the openvpn
server as well as on the clieints and the problem you are
describing went away

Yes, there are some routers and such that have issues with 1500 byte
MTUs. VPNC allows you to do:

	NAT Traversal Mode cisco-udp

to get around it. I've had to use it in several hotels in the past.
