OpenSSH and SSH.Com have different key file formats. You must use
ssh-keygen to convert from one to the other.
If you use OpenSSH's ssh-keygen(1) to do the conversion, you probably
want to use the -e option. I have no idea what the corresponding option
is for SSH.Com's implementation.

Sounds like you built an rsa1 type keypair. That's not going to work
very well with an SSH2 server. Try this instead: ssh-keygen -t rsa
(No, I have no idea why OpenSSH is defaulting to type rsa1.)
