Right...though "xhost +" has nothing whatever to do with this; X
permissions are completely independent of access to your ssh server.

It's too complicated to describe briefly.  See RFCs 4250 through 4254;
they are the spec for the basic protocol.

It will be rather difficult to use ssh directly from BASIC.  Not
impossible, assuming your BASIC supports networking and operations on
binary data, but...well, put it this way: I wouldn't try unless someone
were paying me quite a lot - and that's speaking as someone who's
written an ssh client (not, of course, in BASIC).

Unless you have a good deal of cryptography support available built
into your BASIC system....
