Description
Attempts to connect to a server using Renci.SSH result in an exception.
The device can be accessed usingTeraterm.
.Net gives this exception:
Renci.SshNet.Common.SshConnectionException: An established connection was aborted by the server.
at Renci.SshNet.Session.WaitOnHandle(WaitHandle waitHandle, TimeSpan timeout)
at Renci.SshNet.Session.WaitOnHandle(WaitHandle waitHandle)
at Renci.SshNet.Session.Connect()
at Renci.SshNet.BaseClient.CreateAndConnectSession()
at Renci.SshNet.BaseClient.Connect()
This is the output from Debug:

Exception thrown: 'Renci.SshNet.Common.SshConnectionException' in Renci.SshNet.dll
Here is some version info:
Renci.SshNet, Version=2020.0.1.0
Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2022 (64-bit) - Current Version 17.10.1
It looks like my server did not like the key exchange request.
In Teraterm, it says "The server's host key fingerprint is: Fingerprint hash algorithm SHA256" then shows the hash.
Does anyone have any ideas that I could try? Is there any other information I could provide in helping find a solution?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the connection using SSH.NET 2020.0.1 against OpenSSH_9.2p1 on Debian, then review the supplied debug trace around KeyExchangeDhGroupExchangeRequest. Compare the behavior with the successful Tera Term connection; done means identifying a reproducible cause and a supported fix or documented limitation.
