True, but item 2.3 in the FAQ does refer to interoperability problems
between OpenSSH and SSH; I thought perhaps mine was an interoperability
problem.

Only the server - sshd from OpenBSD 2.8. It is apparently version
2.5.2, though I couldn't find a direct way to check this.

The SecureFX version is 1.7; it was released in April, 2000.

Password authentication is the only method I use. The cipher is set to
3DES, and the MAC is set to use SHA1.
I appreciate your help - I've also posted some of the log entries
relevant to the problem in another thread titled "Authentication
Timeout in OpenSSH".
I considered updating to OpenSSH 2.9 - I hate for anyone to spend time
solving problems that have already been fixed, but this client works
fine with OpenSSH 2.3.0.
