It'll be in CrackBerry's 3rd party apps section. Marc, do you mind if I post a link to your website telling people about BBSSH? It’ll be in CrackBerry’s 3rd party apps section.

Once the original planned featureset is complete, I will work on making phone-specific builds. Currently, I am some functionality in 4.6 that is not available in 4.5 (namely notifications). So - the short answer is if you hang in there, I *do* plan on providing a 4.5 release, but I don't yet have an ETA. Alternatively, if you take a look at the blackberry site, you may find 4.6 is available for you to download. My biggest worry for the 8300 series is the keyboard - my wife used to have such a phone, and that keyboard definitely will not work for "direct input" mode. You'd need to use hybrid mode for almost everything, and that may be limiting if you tend to need a lot of key combinations like "ALT+" or "CTRL+". @Dylan - see above comment to Sharren, I've opened a bug against that and am trying to figure out how to fix it -- it's an odd one. @dhiren – In the short term I plan for 4.6 only.

From some searching, it seems this module is only included in 4.6 and above, and I'm on 4.5. Is there any sort of workaround for this, or any chances of a 4.5 compatible client?

In the mean time, you can at least continue to use the BB by holding down the menu button for a few seconds - this should display the application switcher. You won't be able to return to BBSSH without a battery pull though.

I can get it to lock up. When I'm connected to a server (SSH via BES) if I select Input Screen, then in input screen select the BB Menu the app and then just escape back to the input menu the phone locks up. Phone - 9630 OS : 4.7.1.61 Thx, Dylan Nice work.

I'm new in BB, I'm using curve 8520. The only error so far is when I'm in hybrid input mode and my BB goes idle, I can't manage to open BBSSH again or close current session (frozen) then I have to restart my BB by pulling out the battery. hi, thank you for this good software.

The odd thing, though, is that it was only on one server -- my other servers use the default values in all cases (and did not set ClientAliveInterval), and I do not ever see a timeout. The servers are running the same OS install and SSHD version. This makes me wonder if it could not be a firewall issue? On my working servers, I'm using a iptables-based NAT solution, while on the server that has this problem I'm using only NAT. In either case, I will take a look into this and see if I can find anything more on the client side.

The main issue I have with BBSSH at this time is connection timeouts. I have set `ClientAliveInterval 300` in sshd_config and this works flawlessly for Pader-SyncSSH, but not with BBSSH / midpSSH.
