ok now that everyone has replied with mac clients...

wouldn't a perl-scriptable ssh session be even slightly useful? *scratches
head* I dunno, I mean, it's like, I was almost looking forward to tackling
the problem, if you know what I mean.. it's sort of a let-down to find that
there are some ssh variants available (free) and not the slightest thought
or word of encouragement to explore and discover new perl territory with a
helpfoul word or two to send me on my way...

"Oh bollocks!", said Pooh, being more forthright than usual.

Thanks for all the replies folks. I'll check those out and see if any of
them are useful to me in doing what I need/want them to. :)

Anyone have a link to point me to the difference between SSH1 and SSH2? (I
had no idea there was a difference til someone pointed that out in an
earlier e-mail)

P.S. (also amazing is how many people reply with alternate clients but no
replies to my REAL Problem posting, regarding the memory leakage .. :D *duck
and flee* *jab jab jab* :)
