[rescue] SSH Protocol 2 on SunOS 4.1.4 - maybe OpenSSh?

I fired up my Sparc10 this morning and it seems to be running fine. I 
then discovered that you can no longer specify protocol 1 for an SSH 
attempt on recent Ubuntu.  Still works on ubuntu 10.04, but then I don't 
use that much.

Does anyone think I might be able to get OpenSSH onto 4.1.4?

Another interesting discovery is that a guy on TapeHeads is 3d printing 
tape player belts.  I'm about to head overseas for a couple of months 
but when I get back, I'm going to collaborate with him, maybe do my own 
on one of my 3d printers and make belts for the *%$&&* #M QIC tapes I 
have.  I have 8 cartridges two of which have data I'd love to see again.

I haven't checked to see if my QIC drive still works, it di 12 years ago 
last time I messed with it, but if one of these belts can be made to 
work, after I've dumped the data tapes, I'll exercise it a bit to se how 
long it lasts.

I would think that anyone in his right mind would quickly dump any of 
these cartridges to a better media, and then not run them again.

To show how dumb I am, even though I had a Sun exabyte drive which 
incidentally still works and so do the DAT tapes, in 94 through 99, I 
kept backing up to the QIC's. Of course they had lifetime warranty's 
from 3M for whatever that meant.

but back to SSH. I'd love to get a newer version on the Sparc10. Any ideas.
