Hello everybody! I'm having a little trouble connecting to some of my
favourite BBS using SSH in Syncterm 1.1b.
I doesn't apply to every BBS I try to connect but in many cases I have this
strange error message afterwards:

Error -16 activating session
Couldn't create ECDH ephemeral key data

It only happens when trying SSH, it doesn't happnes in TELNET. Also, I see
it's independet of the system runing the BBS itself.
When I try the SSH command in a regular linux terminal I have no issues
whatsoever so, it's safe to assume my username and password are not the
problem but rather a syncterm handling the keys.

I use the lastest syncterm build for 64-bit linux in Debian 10.
Any help will be really apreciated.
Thanks a lot. Cheers!
