Ok, I've got a telnetS server at shsbbs.net, port 992. You just have to
accept the certificate. I'm wondering what it would take to create a TelnetS client? Would you just need to use stunnel in client mode to the destination server, or would you set 0.0.0.0 as the destination with port 23? Would that work for all external TelnetS servers? I'm trying to encourage users to use more secure protocols... I still can't do anything about ftp, other than
using https urls with the web download protocol. The only problem with that
is the limit of 5GB I've enforced since the files are being copied first.

ZOC and SyncTERM both support TelnetS
