fTelnet should be responding to a SENDLOC request which allows Mystic to get
the non-proxied IP address of the user.  This is either not working or Mystic
is accidentally not using that IP for web downloads which is highly possible.

If we can't get that working then I think the trusted proxy IP option is
probably the way to go.  I'll try to take a look at that tonight.

The web server does support HTTPS but there was a delay when negotiating
connections with CryptLib.  I couldn't figure out why at the time so if memory
serves me, I disabled SSL and never came back to it.

It is technically possible to import a CA signed cert for the BBS but Cryptlib
doesn't have tools to import standard certificate formats (from what I
remember) into their proprietary keystore.

I would like to switch to OpenSSL instead because CryptLib has been annoying
to work with for me, and that could simplify much of this stuff.  The problem
is that I don't believe OpenSSL supports a SSH server which would be something
we need to figure out first.
