I think what Dave means is that ssh used to send the right erase character
at connection time (I don't know if it actually did really send the tty
settings or a termcap fragment), and that the sshd on the NetBSD side no
longer accepts this.

I didn't follow the start of the discussion but it may be related to the
recent openssh upgrade on NetBSD
