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
