It wouldn't be difficult, just slow.  I've done IDEA in MUF (a language
rather like FORTH but with all the real elegance ripped out).  I've
also done floating-point in it - in a version which has no native
support for any arithmetic type except machine integers.

Honestly, if I had to do ssh in BASIC, I'd probably build an
interpreter (or perhaps compiler to pcode and then a pcode engine) for
a language better suited to the task and then write the code in that.
