[ale] SSH3.1.0 scp failure (a mystery to me)

[Dow Hurst]

Nice hardware to have. :-)   Some of the better hardware is the Octanes 
and Indigo2s.  You can get cheap good quality hardware support from 
www.xsnet.com.  We use them for all 27 SGIs we have currently in use.  
We pay around $6K per year for failed hardware replacement.  Has worked 
out well on response times and customer support.  They also do Sun 
systems and such.
