	I replaced ssh2 with it a week or so ago so I could use
sourceforge, and it seems fully implemented.  I've had some difficulty
getting remote X sessions to run over the ssh link, and I've been
meaning to dig into the source to find out why.

	I think it requires openSSL to work.

	Also, it only has Blowfish and 3des as encryption options.  I'd
like to see Twofish added.  It also supports compression via zlib.

Have fun (if at all possible),
