This has been done by both the tn5250 and tn5250j projects.  You can see
their code, but don't copy it unless you distribute your project under the
GPL.  I don't remember the URL for tn5250j, but the code for tn5250 is at:

http://tn5250.sourceforge.net

Scott Klement wrote the SSL code for tn5250.  It uses the OpenSSL
libraries.
