Nothing mysterious there.

The following command sequence has been performed:

# /bin/sh
# exec ssh -l swhitton  -e none athena

There is a prompt after the first command; no output after the second
one. Strange.

Could you, please, open a local shell and apply both commands? Maybe
there is a TERM problem.

If this doesn't help, please start a fresh Emacs via "emacs -Q", and
open directly "C-x C-f /ssh:address@hidden:". Maybe this works.
