  If you're interested in playing with a beta-0 version of ssh2, you can
  download it from our web pages at http://www.ssh.fi/ssh2
    
      +-------------------------------------------------------------+
      | The Beta-0 release of SSH 2 is not meant for real-life use. |
      |    We recommend that SSH version 1.2.22 is used instead.    |
      +-------------------------------------------------------------+
    
  o SSH 2.0 Beta-0 is has been 95% rewritten and implements the 
    SSH IETF Secure Shell protocol, which is incompatible with the protocol 
    used by SSH versions prior to 2.0. 
    
  o The IETF SSH Secure Shell protocol is still subject to change, and we
    recommend that the drafts are used as an reference, instead of our 
    Beta-0 implementation.
  
  o SSH 2.0 Beta-0 comes with an primitive "SFTP" client and a "SFTP" 
    server. SFTP is an simple protocol based on the ssh2 "subsystem" 
    mechanism. It actually runs ssh2 and simply redirects it's 
    stdin and stdout. 
    
    We'll put out a draft on the sftp protocol when it stabilizes.
    (it can be published as an informational RFC)
   
   
  SSH 2.0 Beta-0 should compile without too much hassle on NetBSD, FreeBSD,
  Linux, Solaris, OSF/1, and most other common platforms. Installation 
  may not be quite as easy than with SSH 1.x (yet).
 
  Port 22222 is currently being used for SSH 2.0 Beta testing (can be 
  configured). 
  
  Feedback:
 
    Bugs:    ssh2-bugs@ssh.fi
    Other:   ssh2@ssh.fi   
    

  Currently missing and planned for the Beta-1 release:
  
   - scp
   - implement compatibility code so that the server can serve ssh1 
     connections too (this way both protocols could use port 22)
   - implement mget, mput and globbing in sftp client 
   - system logging
   - change to use sshmath instead of gmp (our own arithmetic library,
     speeds up Diffie-Hellman and rsa)
   - fixes for dozens of bugs
