Hrm, the first string (SSH-2.0-Sun_SSH_1.0.1) should
have worked (or at least, it works on my server running the openssh
version of sshd).  

Have you tried telneting into the port and  typing the version number
in yourself?  If it accepts it, you'll get some crazy diffie-hellman 
text, otherwise it will spit a protocol mismatch line back at you.

Also, silly question, but did you make sure to include to '\r\n' at
the end of the message?  If you did, you might want to try messing
with that (changing it to just '\r' or '\n') because the protocol
error in your syslog looks a little weird (extra newline), so I'm
wondering if there isnt something wrong there.
