 Has anyone seen a port of ssh/sshd for 2.11BSD?  I'm just a bit uncomfortable using

 SSH is going to be a tough sell for a PDP-11.  I usually just use
 serial from a spare port on a nearby server; it's a two-step
 process, but it's not so bad.  There are also simple dedicated
 terminal redirection programs that you could use, or you could
 write one as a login shell.
 
 It looks like this will be the way to go.  Given the (relatively) huge
 memory footprint for the crypto, and the sheer amount of computation
 required, the pdp11 just isn't up to the job.
