[ ... Netscape Java "platform" ... ]
Note: has invalid threading assumptions for all but Solaris/Linux/MS.

[ ... Data Fellows on ANSI-C/POSIX platforms ... ]

[ ... Free Win32 versions of SSH ... ]

[ ... No Mac version ... ]
Note: See threading comment on Java, above; it appies to Macintosh,
too.

TCP/IP systems which I have with Telnet, with no ssh that I know of:

	Amiga running AmigaDOS
	Amiga running SVR3.2
	TI 99/4A
	640K PC DOS running KA9Q
	512K PC DOS running CMU TCP/IP
	Commodore 64
	Altos 286 Xenix
	Xenix 386 + Lachman TCP/IP
	Windows for WorkGroups 3.11

I have other systems that have no ssh, which I could probably port
it to (no JVM version, though), but which I'm unwilling to do, since
it would just support some other weenie who wanted to deprecate
telnet for no provable security gain, other than security through
obscurity on eavesdropping, which is no problem to do on a fully
compromised network.
