Thanks to the JTAJsch and Jsch projects, I got ssh v2 working for our needs. If there is any problem I am happy to help.
This release includes a few small bugfixes. The version number bump is due to finally fixing the annoying "space on the end of the hostname" bug.
The first release of the Kava Telnet Application is here. It can be downloaded in source and binary formats. It features a few new plugins not included in the JTA 2.6 and a couple of reliability patches submitted by JTA users. Feedback is welcomed, as are bug reports and of course patches. Enjoy!
