Alternative SSH implentations are PuTTY and Dropbear, probably available as packages for most distros. Their private key formats and configuration aren't compatible with OpenSSH or each other, so it can take a little work to switch between them. https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ https://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/dropbear.html Mosh runs on top of OpenSSH and uses its configuration, but switches the terminal connection over its own UDP-based protocol which is designed to work better on slow internet connections and withstand connection drop-outs. But on the down side it prevents local terminal scroll-back from working and demands a UTF-8 character set. Sometimes it helps a lot, sometimes it hinders a lot. https://mosh.org -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#
