6) Finding a unix ssh that supports 3DES and DES.

I curse those OpenSSH folks for making me have to trudge 
through the code
to find out how to get DES working...

6a) Finding a release on CCO that supports 3DES.

You are probably aware, but EFF published the DES crack. I understand that
it is  now an issue of cracking DES in less than 12 hours. 3DES is better
but it only amounts to DES with a 128-bit key.

Definitely a limited shelf-live.
