The -v option is "verbose", I just wanted to see what was happening. 
That connection attempt went through. Subsequent attempts were also 
successful.

-l (minus ell) was used like this "ssh -l ken at basenji.com" adn I got a 
dump of the command line options...

I don't think the -v fixed anything, I suspect is was simply 
coincidence, but I don't know what changed...
