 From a Linux box

ssh -l user host

works via challenge/response. Two questions:

response to the challenge is not echoed when typed (normal?)

using backspace-key discards what is typed and remote host
prints prompt again..

^h seems to backspace but does not update display (normal?)

is there a trick to normal backspavce-key functionality?

It's some shell peculiarity on Unix.  Try
	stty sane
once you connect.
