It's good to hear that you finally have a workaround.  Sorry for the
long delay with my answer.

One last suggestion would be: if the remote host has Perl, then you
might be able to use the smp method instead of sm.  The smp method
uses a Perl script for doing base64 encoding.

However, I got a message saying that the Perl code is buggy.  I'm
waiting for a copyright assignment before applying the patch.  Can you
find the message (from ma...@ev...) in the archive or should I
send it to you?
