You're most welcome, Bunson!  It is the least I can do, considering all of the great assistance I have received from forum members.  More follow on this subject later. Markt_a1b

That is beyond my abilities and facilities, but if someone is willing to take a stab at it, I will be more than happy to test the Alpha, Beta and "release" versions.  Any takers?? <g>

The remote UNIX server claims to be using SHA1.  In any case, if the source code is indeed available at https://github.com/macssh/macssh - then perhaps some intrepid coder can modify and recompile it for compatibility with current SSH 2.0 servers.  Here's hoping....

Here follows a MacSSH connection log that I previously sent back-channel to a knowledgeable source, but since it contains no sensitive personal information, I will re-post it here: Below is what I believe to be the relevant portion of the MacSSH log.  I have encryption turned off, with...

That is exactly what I have been doing, but I have to stoop to using PuTTY on a *PeeCee* to do it. <grin>  (BTW, my remote UNIX server calls that type of authentication "keyboard-interactive.") I *could* re-boot the G4 under Mac OS Ex, and then use the Terminal, but considering the other...

Here is what I have tried lately with MacSSH: Created new private and public keys, and uploaded the latter, after executing the following commands on the SSH2 server: > mkdir .ssh > chmod 700 .ssh At administrator's recommendation, deleted the first and last lines of MacSSH public...

Thanks for the spot-on info., PowerPup! Here is a recent PuTTY connection log, with dates and times removed for clarity: Looking up host "host.name" Connecting to [server IP address] port 22 Server version: SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_6.1_hpn13v11 FreeBSD-20120901 Using SSH protocol version 2 We claim...

Has there been any progress made with the above-referenced port - or any other such?  MacSSH is no longer capable of connecting to my UNIX ISP, which has forced the use of PuTTY on a PeeCee, but I would really like to regain connectivity under Mac OS 9.  Thanks!

I previously promised to report back on my progress - or lack of it - in getting reliable MIDI data to and from my Quicksilver G4s, and while I will *try* to provide this account without writing an entire book, the whole enterprise has been quite an "adventure," to say the least (cough!). A...

> ... The dual-boot, dual-processor G4 ... seems to have a dead Ethernet port.... As Inspector Clouseau would say: "Case solv-ed." By using a very small, fine flat bastard file (yes, that's the correct nomenclature) to polish the spring-wire contacts within the G4's Ethernet port...

Continuing under this "Hot Spare" message thread, I have discovered a huge "fly in the ointment": The dual-boot, dual-processor G4 on which I have been intending to test a Keyspan USB serial adapter (or similar) seems to have a dead Ethernet port.  The computer has sat unused for a while...

> Just out of curiosity, are you looking to run the same software binaries on the G4 that you run on the IIci? I think a major concern > there would be if the software will actually work under OS 9.x (or in Classic on OS X, whichever your plan was.) I have successfully and routinely...

Thanks, "NJRoadfan."  Right now it looks as though I will have a chance to test a Keyspan USB serial converter with the referenced G4 and my Passport MIDI software, so stay tuned for an update.  A reply to "Gorgonops" will follow separately.  MarkT

Thank you, Cory5412!  I agree that Alex Hixon's pages do indicate that my G4 should work, with the only unsupported G4 being one with PCI graphics. As to MIDI over USB, poster "GaryN" reports his routine and successful use of the Keyspan USB to serial adapter (with high-end Opcode hardware) at...

> none of the USB or PCI serial port devices will work with MIDI adapters, nor with LocalTalk/Appletalk. THANK you for that important information (and the everymac.com referral), Bunsen!  That potentially saves me *much* manual hair loss.   In the meantime it turns out that the G4 I'd like...
