I just tried and it works for me, I got those options in my .ssh/config

host  netscreen*
        Ciphers blowfish-cbc,aes256-ctr,aes256-cbc,3des-cbc
        KeepAlive no
        TCPKeepAlive no
        Compression no

 > ssh -V
OpenSSH_5.1p1 Debian-2, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007

I don't have any problems connecting.
