I know very little about ssl, so where's the best place to read up on what's
required to get this working. I've fallen at the first hurdle, as I don't
know how to ssl-telnet enable the AS/400. I'm interested not just from a work
point of view, but it would be nice to get a secure connection to NetShare400
(assuming John Ross could get the necessary done at his end of the line).
