Hello,

>> I'm curious, did you guys replace JSch because its a pile of junk?

Above statement describes the reason behind my decision to use Trilead SSH instead of JSCH more or less precisely.

In particular, version of JSCH we were using, used to work extremely unreliable in case multiple channels within same connection were used simultaneously. And code quality of JSCH didn't allow me to fix this and other JSch issues in reasonable time.
