Not sure if anyone else experiences this but I find, regardless of the version of RDM, that entries using the SSH Shell tend to lock up RDM causing me to end the program and re-launch. It tends to happen when connecting to devices over slower WAN links which have the tendency to drop packets although I've also experienced it on decent links too. I've started to switch (back) to SecureCRT for these connections if I'm using them frequently which doesn't have this issue. Am I right in saying that the SSH Shell is something external to RDM and therefore can't be fixed in the RDM code? If so, are there any alternative methods to use SSH in RDM? I haven't tried it but there's the SSH option but this appears to come with less settings (what's the difference between this and the SSH Shell by the way?). There's also Putty which I imagine would be more reliable. However, if going down that route I'd rather get RDM to launch SecureCRT than Putty as I prefer the former. Is it possible to create entries in RDM and get them to launch in SecureCRT much like the Web browser 'External' option? Or could SecureCRT open as an embedded session in RDM (this would be ideal)?
