what is meant with keyboard interactive (was RE: HEADS UP: OpenSSH 3.8p1)?

[Fritz Heinrichmeyer]

sorry for my newbie-question (i googled before i posted this, i swear), but 
can keyboard interactive login work over a slow line?

Is this kind of biometry or only a new ssh internal abstraction layer?

Regards
