Hi again


Finally I found out what it was going on

The problem lays on the Honeywell ssh client (a fork of OpenSSH)
The client doesn't negotiate
SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_WINDOW_ADJUST/SSH2_MSG_CHANNEL_WINDOW_ADJUST parameters

This issue it's not happening using putty ssh client (for instance)

Hope this information helps anyone

[SOLVED]

Nacho.
