Ok; granted - there are not free versions of ssh for Win95/NT (I thought
there was one, but I don't have a URL so I'll concede the point).
There are two very good commercial implementations of ssh that I know of
- the ssh from datafellows, and SecureCRT.
If you're going to use an OS where bugfixes cost $30, why not spend $95
for some security :)
