I guess I should update the group. Thanks for all of the input. We had two requirements for SSH that were driven by security requirements that we must comply with. Telnet is considered an insecure protocol even on internal networks and it not allowed by most current security policies. We have desktop users and one gateway server application. Our desktop terminal emulator, Accuterm, natively supports SSH. However, our gateway middleware that we use to handle requests from Windows and Web applications to jBASE does not support SSH.
We are currently evaluating the Bitvise product. The installation was straight forward and we have been tweaking settings to serve our needs. As for the gateway, we have created a tunnel from the gateway system to the jBASE system. At this point we are happy with Bitvise and find that the $99 license fee is insignificant relative to our business requirements.
