        I can add NeXTStep 3.3 and Mac OS 8.6 (and OS X) and Solaris
to the list of SCP-capable platforms from personal experience. I
assume there are more. Most implementations of SCP that I've seen
come bundled with SSH, which does Telnet-like duties in an encrypted
way as far as I can see.
        If anyone needs pointers to any of the above software, ping
me and I'll dig them up.
