I'm troubleshooting a very strange problem, where my ssh connection to a

with my shell), and the OpenBSD machine's capture doesn't log the RST it
apparently sends.
There are ISPs that "traffic shape" their links by killing long-lasting
TCP streams by faking the RST in the middle.
A good thought, and I've seen this myself. However, these connections
can drop after a second or two, and aren't traversing an ISP.
