really?
If sshdos no longer connects, then how am I sending this e-mail?
I use dos exclusively and sshdos as packaged in ssh2021b.
In the program readme file putty for windows is referenced as one element
of the various codes and libraries used in how the program was
constructed.
Lastly, in the discussion area of sshdos an individual explains how
they configured sshdos to be recognized by current openssh...so
there is nothing in of itself about dOS that translates into it not
connecting.
granted, I am not running freedos, but I can with my dos network
configuration run a browser from my desktop if needful, it is just not
needful for me due to ssh.

Is / was there a putty dos one for example?
Putty is a combined terminal window and SSH client,
so it is only needed in Windows. In Linux, you use
one of the existing Terminal windows (which seem to
be more versatile than the command com or cmd exe
windows of Windows) and a text-based SSH client.
In DOS, you would use sshdos and ssh2dos, which are
for two different versions of the SSH protocol. Yet,
both are too old and no longer connect with common
SSH server configurations! Both are text based apps.
A while ago, I tried to compile a custom secure
protocol library for a project in Linux and I can
tell you that those things unfortunately have a
larger number of dependencies than the should...
A starting point for finding something lightweight
and feasible to port to DOS might be this list:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_cryptography_libraries
However, that is probably more useful when you want
to add HTTPS support to a DOS browser and less when
you want to upgrade SSH2DOS, but I am no expert in
those things.
