Hi, I cant swear to the kanji issues but there are a lot of pub domain ssh
tools  out there besides the gnu-type of unix solution.

/dev/tty is the teletype driver which dates back to the 1940's in one form or
another.

If an Xserver is a possibility for you rxvt does the trick w/ ssh1, I was
unimpressed with the non-X version.  Maybe you should look into the public
domain Xserver code that I see advertised in several places.  I personally
would like to see it developed into a Netscape plugin.

If kanji is unavailable for rxvt then you should ask around.  Rxvt is the
standard on Linux and linux is the global standard.

I have not experienced the escape errors but the pause is the encrypted
handshake.

If you have control over the installations of ssh on the servers then I would
install ssh1 as well as ssh2.  ssh1 is a standard, probably just as good as
ssh2 and is in the public domain.  ssh1 will be developed in parallel to ssh2
anyway and it is the isp standard.  Since it is more mature, it compiles
better.  I just installed it on three unix flavors but ssh2 broke on compile on
ibm aix.
