Hi Mike, all, that is most impressive and I am beyond thankful. I did do a second test, using an option that I run for shellworld, but your data shows I should be having no issues..save for the port itself. unless your test of dreamhost.com is using port 22? in which case I am back to Bell somehow impacting my accessing the port.

Strange...
I set up an openssh -dd server on a weird port for Karen to connect to, and it said this:
Client reports itself as: SSHDOS_0.2.1 Server used is: SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_6.0p1
Negotiation yielded:
Key exhange (KEX): diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1 Host key algorithm: ssh-dss (a.k.a. DSA) Session cipher: aes128-cbc Message authentication Code (MAC): hmac-sha1
What bugs me is that running nmap --script ssh2-enum-algos dreamhost.com lists, among others,
kex_algorithms: ... diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1
server_host_key_algorithms: ... ssh-dss
encryption_algorithms: ... aes128-cbc
mac_algorithms: ... hmac-sha1
I don't see that there should be any trouble connecting to dreamhost.com...
