Hello!
I'd like to introduce to you my new small project: https://github.com/radozd/dosssh

The attachment dosssh.png is no longer available

DOSSSH runs on a 386 or newer PC in 16-bit real mode, using mTCP and a packet driver. No DOS extender required.
It supports VT100/xterm-style terminal emulation, modern SSH encryption, host key verification, and UTF-8 conversion to DOS code pages, including CP866.
I originally wrote it to access my OpenWrt router from an old DOS machine, after having trouble getting existing SSH clients to work.
It's still a new project, so testing on different hardware, bug reports and feedback are very welcome!

Excellent! I especially like the attention to detail with the random number generation.
