RE: [LINUX5250] tn5250 and SSL

["Sean Porterfield" <sporter@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I never got it to work, but I did try...  (I finally decided to just use ssh
forwarding for myself, and forward the Client Access ports for everyone
else.)

I couldn't get the AS/400 to recognize the SSL certificate...  I tried using
several secure telnet packages, but not tn5250/ssl.  I don't think I tried
stunnel either, but that may just be for server side to provide SSL to
non-SSL servers.

It would be more convenient if tn5250 supported ssl directly, so I wouldn't
have to have 3 windows to connect (one for ssh, one to launch xt5250, and
xt2520 itself - I could create an icon to eliminate the xterm in the middle
of course).
