Yeah I guess it was lucky that it happend around Halloween-ish time when I'm
super busy with prop projects anyway hehe

I ended up sending Deuce a mail, then right after that I had a revolution: What
 if it just does't agree with some of the algorithms. So, I enabled everything
SSH2 supports (vs the default set) and viola! It seems for e.g. SyncTERM wants
to use older (deprecated, really) KEX, cipher, etc. I'll have to send Deuce a
updated mail on that. For now, ENiG will support them as well by default but
let users override in their config.hjson files.

Well I hope you get back to it. I quite like MagiTerm :) At some point, I'd
really like to turn VTX into a client side application with a phone book/etc.
Codewar65 has done an amazing job with it (and I hope he continues) and IMO
it's the best web client... but having a phone book and the like would be
great.
