possibly you need some other flags to the ssh client:
  -oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1  (server here only
offers that key exchange algorithm)
  -oMACS=+hmac-sha1

The server here appears to be a very old cisco type thingy :(
(I didn't figure the passwd part out, docs appear to say the passwd
should be: rviews - perhaps some security person made them add more
entropy? :) )
