It is possible that a left-over key (or other file from
your earlier ssh installation) is tripping up the BL ssh.
You might try using it from a system without a previous 
ssh installation. It will probably run on the ramdisk BL
from the /tmp directory (BL2 automatically puts 4mb of space 
in /tmp on systems with more than 12mb RAM).

The other possible cause is that your ISP requires a more
advanced version of ssh.  The ssh I selected for BasicLinux
is an older (smaller) version.  I have used that version at 
three different sites without problem, but I suppose there 
may be sites that don't like it.

Cheers,
