I would not advocate spending any money on F-Secure SSH for the
Macintosh, It has not been updated in over a year, and is quite
buggy on newer versions of the Mac OS.
Having actually PAID for 5 copies, and not having Data Fellows ever
even bother to update it, was rather annoying.
Their tactic is to come up with an entirely new product, based on SSH2
which you'd have to pay another $99 for.
