I haven't installed Linux or BSD on my Amiga (I only have a 68EC030, but I'm 
looking for a real '030), but I've had this problem with other systems.  The 
issue is the encryption algorithm.

A friend suggested I use the blowfish algorithm and I tried it.  It makes a 
huge difference.

I run sshd on a 486sx25 (Debian 3.1), VAXStation 4000/60 (OpenBSD 3.8) and a 
Sun Sparcstation 20 (NetBSD 2.0.2, dual 50 MHz Sparc processors) and using 
blowfish results in very quick connections.
