I would check the Encryption settings.   If you are using ssh1 and he is 
using ssh2.   You will experience this.  Happens to me all the time when 
SSHing to a SCO box.   Putting a -1 in the command line will usually 
take care of this.   You can also do something like CTRL-J  sane tty 
CTRL-J  return return return..  And If I did that right you will get 
three prompts
