[colug-432] protocols (Re: SSH)

[Jeff Frontz]

Plain text protocols are (often) nice for debugging, but they're
painful to write robust software around (just how to you make sure you
can handle everything about a protocol that has a message that can be
any arbitrary length and that gives no clue as to how long it might
be?  SIP anyone?)
