I've been trying to get this to work for over a week.
And now, without changing *anything*, it suddenly works....
The only conclusion is that one of my ISP techies is on this list
and quickly fixed something along the way :-)

So now it works.
When I ssh from my box to some remote box, I see that my source address is
the 'highest' v6 address on my box (2001:898:2000:1b::5).

Is there any why to set the source address for outbound connections?
