Hello Kevin

I built this gateway in January 2005 with 5.3 CDs. All worked fine so 
(IIRC) I waited until 5.4 was released to update. There is also a good 
chance that I did some incremental 5.3 updates but I can't be for sure 
because all was well on the gateway and I was doing the incremental 
thing on other boxes. Either way, OpenSSH 3.7.1p2 would have been on the CD.

I'm pretty anal about doing the mergemaster dance when updating :)

Thanks for the $0.02. Always appreciated.

Robert
