Well, I made the server in BSD more tolerant, and the client from
Linux was able to negotiate. As far as I know, openSSH-3.1p1 is the
latest. (I just did a fairly thorough update there with recent
vulnerabilities found in openSSH-3.0 and zlib.) How do I see what version
is installed under FreeBSD?

It's certainly easy to have a look at the _server_ config on the
Linux box, but I wouldn't have expected it to matter (which is how I read
your note, too).

Ahh - silly me. I've been seduced by RH ]init' scripts. That was actually
one reason I wanted to spend some time with FreeBSD: its reputation as
more representative of 'mainstream' Unices.

Thanks for the help.
