1. I am not using Linux, but an ssh client compiled from a combination of tools, Linux and otherwise, including putty. I have been very firm in not stating that I use Linux at all. In fact the first sentence of my question stated that while the issue is complex, the question, where dh keys are

Hi again, ssh-keygen is a command that comes along with your SSH client in Debian (and all other UNIX-like systems that supply OpenSSH). Understood. That sounds like your DSL company decided to block port 22, which is somewhere between ridiculous and evil. (21 is FTP, by the way.) Yes, on
