Hello Rob,

 RS> Having Synchronet/BinkIT listen/accept BINKP/TLS connections is a
 RS> piece of cake. Simply add the following to your ctrl/services.ini
 RS> file:

 RS> [BINKPS]
 RS> Enabled=true
 RS> Port=24555
 RS> Command=binkit.js
 RS> LogLevel=debug
 RS> Options=TLS

I have that setup now and binkit.js is listening also on port 24555 with the
TLS option.

A couple questions about sessions over TLS. Are session passwords required, and
is there anything else I need like a cert of some kind?

When that is ready I'll gladly test it out.

That should work fine I think.

I have Equinox BBS listening with standard binkp on port 24554 and secure
binkps on port 24554.

Equinox BBS
1:153/757.2

If anyone would like to try that feel free. Reports of success or failure are
welcome.

 Ttyl :-),
