+\S{faq-ports-general}{Question} What ports of PuTTY exist?

+Currently, PuTTY only runs on full Win32 systems. This includes
+Windows 95, 98, and ME, and it includes Windows NT, Windows 2000 and
+Windows XP.

+It does \e{not} include Windows CE (see \k{faq-wince}), and it does
+not quite include the Win32s environment under Windows 3.1 (see
+\k{faq-win31}).

+We do not have ports for any other systems at the present time. If
+anyone told you we had a Unix port, or an iPaq port, or any other
+port of PuTTY, they were mistaken. We don't.

+\S{faq-broken-openssh31}{Question} Since my SSH server was upgraded to
+OpenSSH 3.1p1, I can no longer connect with PuTTY.
+
+There is a known problem when OpenSSH has been built against an
+incorrect version of OpenSSL; the quick workaround is to configure
+PuTTY to use SSH protocol 2 and the Blowfish cipher.
+
+This is not a PuTTY-specific problem; if you try to connect with
+another client you'll likely have similar problems.

+Configurations known to be broken (and symptoms):

+(len & 15) == 0" in sshaes.c, or "Out of memory", or crashes)

+\b SSH 2 with 3DES (PuTTY says "Incorrect MAC received on packet")

+packet")
