Hey Alan!

 AI> Is there a more secure telnet, on port 995 or somesuch?

I think Debian had a version way back when but I haven't heard about it in well
over a decade now.  Also saw some howtos years ago that used ssl tunneling to
provide a stock telnet with ssl encryption.  Also, also libssh might have
something worth investigating along these lines.

 AI> As far as ftn transfers go I think binkd is secure

Seems good enough for my needs ... and then some.  Also like you say, supported
pretty well across the board so the possibilty of someone in Windows world
potentially duplicating what we're playing around with ... given that they can
tolerate it's gui lameness that is.  ;-)

Kids these days eh?

Life is good,
Maurice
