Dear Scott,

I have it on the authority of our resident Mac expert that F-Secure SSH
clients for the Mac, versions 1.0 and 1.0.1 indeed do have a bug that
prevents them from successfully connecting to a server running SSH1 in
compatilibility mode under SSH2. The kosher solution here is to upgrade
to 1.0.2.
I am not sure how NiftyTelnet with SSH would react, and have no Mac to
test with, either. Check out

if you are interested in testing this for yourself. It also does scp,
unlike the F-Secure client, but it does not do port forwarding.
(I don't know about you, but our experiences with port forwarding on the
Mac are really bad anyway -- it's so slow it's useless, and this is not
because the Mac itself is slow. My guess is the bad multitasking in
MacOS, but I'm sure Juri will be delighted to correct me :-)
