check your ssh client for protocol 2 support: % ssh -V SSH Version OpenSSH_2.3.0, protocol versions 1.5/2.0. Compiled with SSL (0x0090581f). if you see '2.0' you're set. now connect: % ssh -l monkeyuser monkey.org where monkeyuser is the name of your account on monkey.

if ssh is not available on your Unix host bug your system administrator (mail "root") to get a clue and install ssh for you.
