I have been tasked with getting our in bound and outbound modem traffic to be ssh tunneled instead of telnet. I have upgraded the firmware and post code on our portserver ts 8s to the latest available from digi:  
Post: 82000685\_G  
EOS: 82000684\_U1

But I am unable to create an ssh session from the port server to the destination server. The portserver seems to be trying to connect a telnet session on port 22 instead of port 23. I get the following during testing:

Connected to 192.168.1.144  
SSH-1.99-OpenSSH\_4.2

and the sessions hangs here indefinitely. (similar to what happens if you try to telnet to port 22 on a machine running an ssh server on port 22)

Has anyone else been able to configure the Digi portserver ts 8 to perform in this manner? (SSH client connection from portserver)

Thanks-

The TS 8 only has an SSH server and not client.
