Hi,
There is a version of nifty telnet for the mac that
implements ssh. Details can be found at:
http://www.lysator.liu.se/~jonasw/freeware/niftyssh/
The author warns that there is patent conflict on the
encryption algorithm and it is not legal to use the
software in the US. They provide a link to DataFellows.
One moral - but probably not legal - way of working
with this is to pay DataFellows for their product,
and then use niftyssh instead.
Use this information with caution - you are on your
own here....
Cheers,
Roy Smith
