If you have access to one, use telnet or netcat or some such to connect
to its port 22.  Look at the banner.  It'll begin something like one of

SSH-1.4-....
SSH-1.99-....
SSH-2.0-....

(The stuff I've represented as "...." is implementation-specific
software version guff, ignorable for the purposes at hand.)

The "1.99" indicates a version which supports both ssh1 and ssh2.
Otherwise, the only version supported is the part before the dot.  (The
part after the dot, as in 1.4 or 1.5, probably means something, but the
ssh1 protocol is almost undocumented; you'd likely have to go to the
source to figure out what.)
