Thanks. You may be more experienced than me interpreting the ssh
communication.
Which are the signs/symbols that tell one that this line corresponds to
what the server says whereas that other line is the client's turn. Are
there any or is it just experience/contextual heuristics?

Thanks for the key cipher's advice. Maybe I should use that elliptic
curve one, as it is the latest on the scene and is stronger.

Cheers,
