The source RPM's are available at
ftp://ftp.replay.com/pub/replay/redhat/SRPMS/ssh-1.2.27-5i.src.rpm
ftp://ftp.replay.com/pub/replay/redhat/SRPMS/ssh2-2.0.13-1i.src.rpm
Both build fine on Mandrake 6.0,
I use telnet on the private side of my home LAN but ssh in the
Internet side. I do not have all the security details correct yet. I
have installed ssh2 on my Firewall/NAT server (my employer is using
ssh2 for UNIX remote access) and I just have to figure out how to lock
the machine down so the Internet side is super secure but the intranet
side is more lax

I haven't used ssh2 enough to comment.
