There seems to be a lot of confusion in the language regarding "can an ssh2 machine 
connect to an ssh1 machine?"

What I've found is that if I set up the parameters in the /etc/ssh2/ config files, 
when I connect from an ssh2 box to an ssh1 box, ssh is smart enough to run ssh1 
instead of ssh2 and make the connection.  

So it is possible to connect, it just happens that ssh2 will fire up ssh1 when it 
realizes it's connecting to an ssh1 box.

The config parameters are:
/etc/ssh2/sshd2_config

Ssh1Compatibility  yes

/etc/ssh2/ssh2_config

Ssh1AgentCompatibility   ssh2

(It's already there, you just have to uncomment the line and restart the daemon)

hope that helps,
Tamara

Yes. You can't ssh2 to an ssh1 server. (I know. I tried.) 

Try 'ssh1 remotehost'. That worked for me.
