3 characters will be sent AFAIU in protocol 1 case, but not in protocol 2
due to its buffering and sending after delay, which exists either in OpenSSH
and finnish SSH. As protocol 2 is considered now as The Only Right Thing,
this isn't issue anymore. Please correct me if server side with protocol 2
doesn't do it.
I'm unhappy with protocol 2 due to delays mentioned above; it gives
very uncomfortable redrawing delays even on 100MB ethernet link.
On dialup line these delays become intolerable.
