I make few further testings...

According to http://uptime.netcraft.net/up/graph?site=www.ssh.com
the host www.ssh.com uses NetBSD or OpenBSD operating system. When my
box is configured according to the following expression:

net.inet.tcp.rfc1323 == 1

(that is the default for FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE), I have the same trouble
with www.netbsd.org like the trouble that I have with www.ssh.com.
According to http://uptime.netcraft.net/up/graph?site=www.openbsd.org
the host www.openbsd.com uses Solaris operating system. This is why I
have no problem with http://www.openbsd.org/
So, the problem with www.ssh.com looks like a bug in NetBSD's or/and
OpenBSD's implementation of the TCP protocol. And also, one of the
following configurations of my box:

MRU == MTU == 1484 (or smaller)
or
net.inet.tcp.rfc1323 == 0

solves the problem with http://www.netbsd.org/ too.

I think that cooperation with NetBSD or/and OpenBSD team(s) would be
helpful and efficient for localization of the problem.
