Ok, this is a rather weird and embarrasing question, 'cause I should know
what the answer is...

Anywho, when I ssh into a machine that shall remain un-named, I get this
odd network problem. It's like this, I send data, say a command like 'ls
-l' to the remote machine. If the response is large, say there are a large
number of files in the dir in which I 'ls -l''d, basically some of the
data will be written to the screen, and everything will freeze (kinda).
That is, no more data will be displayed until I hit a key or otherwise
send some data to the remote machine.

To be clear, it goes like this:

ssh into remote machine,
cd to directory containing a large amount of files
type 'ls -l'

now, only the first part of the directory listing will be displayed
(presumably, what fits into the first packet)

In order to see the entire results, I have to hit a key, and the rest will
be displayed (if the rest of the results fits into the next packet,
otherwise I have to keep sending in order to recieve).

This is just an example, this happens with things other than ls.

I'm guessing that this is some TTY thing. That is, there is some "flow
control" setting or something that is futzed. But, I nothing looks like an
obvious solution. I vaguely remember stuff like this happening in the BBS
days...

namaste,
Mark
