Thanks to Prentis Brooks, I have this working well now.  The trick was
to run sshd from inetd.  Something like this in inetd.conf:

	sshd 	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/usr/local/sbin/sshd sshd -i

and a new entry in C:\WINNT\System32\drivers\etc\SERVICES:

	sshd               22/tcp

Hope this information is useful to someone.  Thanks again to Prentis
for providing this tip.

Best regards,
David
