Besides the thorough discussion on SSH itself, one item to note if you
are using a BES internally, or presumably signed up with your provider's
BIS: according to tests we've done with the blackberries using 802.11
connectivity, you'll see an IPSEC tunnel to your provider for your voice
traffic, and you'll see an SSL connection to a RIM SRP for data side
(i.e. conn to BES/BIS). So in case of BES usage, you've got the SSH
channel inside an SSL channel. Gotta love the Department of Redundancy
Department, eh?

I tested midpssh probably 6 months ago, and maybe there's a newer
version that works better. In my experience, it's painfully slow, and
the session/configuration interface of midpssh is just wacky.
