That is sad; I doubt that I am the only one who would need this - there
are millions of Cisco, HP, and etc network devices that folks must continue
to access but will never receive new firmware with sshv2.  It takes a long
time for some equipment to transition to the recycle bin - even after
vendor EOLs.
