I have a Mac client which I find to be high-quality and versatile:  
OpenSSH v2.9.  Apple's new operating system, MacOS X, is *nix with an 
Apple UI ("Darwin" -- the "core" -- is a BSD variant which is planned to 
track FreeBSD, and presently derives from NeXT;  it has some oddities 
like a Mach-type pseudo-microkernel and a bunch of directories with 
names like "Users" and "System" -- complete with caps!  wierd for 
*nix ... lots of things in wierd places).  (older Mac OS versions can 
use MacSSH located at 
http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=8913 -- this one is a 
GNU-licensed no-fee telnet client with SSH protocol 2 support).  
Usually, I drive the OpenBSD box on my network from the Mac.  I am 
interested in setting it up as a network storage and printserver.

Enjoy!
